Nudibranchs

Nudibranchia - "Art Forms of Nature", 1904

Nudibranchs are the shell-less relatives of the snail and are known for their garish colors.

These tiny sea creatures are usually only 2cm - 6cm in length and can be found worldwide.

They are able to thrive in any depth of salt water from the deepest darkest ocean floors to warm shallow water.

There are over 3,000 known species of nudibranchs, but only half have been discovered so far.

The creatures' short life span of 1 year make it possible for many of them to live undetected and vanish from the earth without a trace.

Nudibranchs are blind, and the animal relies on smell, taste and feel to navigate their surroundings to find coral, sponges, eggs, small fish, and other nudibranchs to eat.

The current state of Malaysian politics is also "colorful", and the government is so pathetic and blind, that one wonders whether their lifespan is also like the nudibranchs - ONE year?
