It's Sven! Svens are bigger than Shauns, but are also Shaun the Sheeps! Does that make sense? Both will blow your mind when you find them - the most desired Nudibranch in the world. Crazy Cute.
Often shown in photographs as perfect giants, the Shaun the Sheep Nudibranch - or Costasiella kuroshimae, is the nudi everyone is hunting. When you find a Shaun, it's like the rest of the world goes quiet and it's only you, and not one, but 4,5,6 little scabs on a leaf at the bottom of the ocean.
On my recent trip to Atmosphere Resort in Dauin, Negros in the Philippines, there was a site where you are tripping over Shauns. Not just these Shauns, but the Swedish ones as well.
Here's my little film and photographs of this famous Nudi - and a shrimp called Derek. Shaun + Derek + Shaun. You rock.
Filmed and photographed by me ( Sue Liu - Wildcard-Sue the artist) at Atmosphere Resort and Spa - Philippines.
