Fly Trap

These crazy looking underwater critters are Hooded Nudibranchs. The filter the water by waving their heads back and forth collecting microorganisms.

Found throughout the coastal waters of British Columbia they resemble a Venus Fly trap.

Thanks for reading.

It is very terrible to see and there is a plant inside the water.

When I saw them I imagined that they were underwater, I do not think that the photo shows it, if they are crazy

They are superb when they gather around like that. Great shot:)

Buena fotografía, puedes imaginar que se trata de otra cosa.

Saludos,

Hello Scott, went to your website and took a look at the about-contact section, because I'm curious as to what camera you use. I just recently started photography as a hobby. Any pointers would help.

This is gorgeous work! How did you get this photo? Is it easy to find these creatures? I love seeing people's artwork and very much value the opportunity to see photos from the photographer's perspective. Thanks so much for sharing!
