M M M My dirona…

This golden dirona (Dirona pellucida) nudibranch was spotted among the pilings on the Glacier Bay dock this week! Note its translucent body, spiral-shaped rhinophores (sensory tentacles), and its many white-tipped cerata used for both respiration and predator defense.

Have you seen a sea slug in the wild? This one was easy to spot from above the water, bright orange amongst teal-green water and brown dock pilings.

📹NPS Video: Orange sea slug slowly moves across a piling in search of food. White speckles adorn its translucent body. Its cerata gently wave in the water.
