The psychedelic seaslugs that outshine their garden cousins | Mail Online:
"The incredible images were taken by researcher and photographer Thomas Vignaud, who was diving off the coast of southern France.
The 23 year old said: 'Most of the nudibranchs have totally incredible colours - like underwater living jewels designed by an artist.
'There are several thousand known species but we're far from finding the real total. The vivid colours are, like for other animals, used to warn any potential predator, 'I'm not good to eat'."
