Predator and Prey — the Chase is On
Navanax, top, feeds on nudibranchs. The blue nudibranch below, would make a tasty lunch for the navanax. As nudibranchs move across the bottom, they leave a light slime track. Like a blood-hound, the navanax follows the scent trail, closing in on their prey. In this case, the nudibranch escaped.
Nudis Everywhere
This is turning out to be a good year for observing and photographing nudibranchs. The brightly colored sea slugs are numerous and large this year and are in a variety not seen in many years. While there is no scientific reports to verify, diver reports from up and down the coast and around the islands confirm that nudi watching is now at its best.
Lots of Moray's At Shaw's Cove
A good place to see moray eels on a beach dive is Shaw’s Cove, Laguna Beach. Recent dive reports put as many as a half a dozen in cracks, crevices, and small caves on the reef.
