Only one of the coolest nudibranchs ever! They don't do well in captivity, mainly because their food source can cause some serious injuries.

I think the one in the photo may be faked — or at least it's placement on the hand is. It just doesn't look right for an aquatic creature being held out of water. Even fish tend to look sort of collapsed and clamped when held like that. Can't imagine a slug staying so erect and mobile looking. Look at it compared to the softer, blurry look of the ones in the video. (Also, I agree with Xan that a bare hand would not be a wise way to hold one of those!)
Anything with a sea turtle gets my attention. Had no idea that loggerheads could just chop away on Man 'o Wars!
That sea slug is pretty awesome, too.

DeathPony, if you're a nudibranch fan you should hit my friend Phila's site every Friday. He does a post featuring new videos (nearly) every week. Great blog for other topics as well, imho anyway.
