So todays #Nudibranch is an undescribed Thecacera from the Philippines. A lot of these Thecacera look like Pokémon - in fact there is a bright yellow one that most folks refer to a Pikachu.

⚡️The “Pikachu” Sea Slug 😍

This tiny sea slug, called Thecacera pacifica, is a real underwater gem from Indonesia. Measuring 2 cm and harmless, its bright yellow and black spots look just like Pikachu from Pokémon!

Thecacera pacifica is often referred to as the Pikachu #Nudibranch -it’s apparently quite toxic to anything that might want to chomp on it. Is definitely one of those iconic #Seaslugs

A cryptic species of sea slugs has been discovered at Keelung, Taiwan.

Thecacera sesama #芝麻角鞘海蛞蝓 is named after its signature black dots resembling sesame seeds.

Measuring just three millimetres long, the tiny nudibranch exhibits four primary behaviours: feeding, searching, mating, laying eggs.

Another type of Thecacera today for Nudivember - and the one that is normally referred to as the Pikachu slug. This is Thecacera pacifica and is apparently quite a toxic #Nudibranch - this one was photographed on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates. #MarineLife #Inverts

This beautiful and colourful species of sea slug, Thecacera pennigera, was found at Bognor Rocks on one of our Shoresearch surveys. The striking orange and black colour pattern make it cryptic around its usual source of food, Bugula bryozoans.
