noaasanctuaries: A beautiful undersea flower? No – this is a cockscomb nudibranch, a type of sea slug! Look closely and you can see its digestive tract through its translucent body. This small nudibranch was photographed by Robin Agarwal at Monterey Harbor in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and was a submission for the 2019 Get Into Your Sanctuary Photo Contest. The 2020 photo contest is now open! Learn how to submit your photos at https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/photo-contest.html. (Photo: Robin Agarwal.
