Our Nudibranch website

It all started while diving here on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. After spotting Nudibranchs, we developed an appetite for identifying them and learning more about the most beautiful creatures in the sea.
nudibranch.com.au was born when a friend of Garys thought we should share our knowledge with the World. The site began in March 2003 when we began our quest of finding, identifying and recording all the Nudibranchs here in our area. The ever changing sea brings new surprises every visit, whether it is subtidal or intertidal.
From this website a Nudibranch Identification book called Undersea Jewels - A Colour Guide to Nudibranchs was published in 2006. Gary drew up the concepts and Dr. Richard Willan suggested he could impart technical accuracy and the rest is history. The book is a 'Colour Guide'. After all that is the first thing anyone remembers about first seeing a Nudibranch.

Our Mission
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
LOCATE, RECORD, IDENTIFY and POST every species of OPISTHOBRANCH to be found on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. Learn more>
To LOCATE through scuba diving and intertidal searching.
To RECORD by underwater and studio/taxonomic photography (including microscopy photography) of the specimens.
To IDENTIFY these species through invaluable support from qualified authorities in this field and developing reference resources.
To POST upon our web site not only images of the species and their natural history behaviour but also information concerning size abundance and localities. Additionally to disseminate to other sites information considered unusual (see Useful Resources).
Towards achieving these aims we will continue to acquire and develop the necessary equipment, resources and knowledge.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the Earth's greatest creatures!
