T

his complete and colorful guide covers all of the 370+ species of shallow-water sea slugs known to occur from Alaska to Central America. In addition to size, range, and habitat descriptions, it also provides information on color variations, eggs, and convenient tips on how to distinguish them from similar species.

Richly illustrated with color photos contributed by over 50 of the best “nudie” photographers on the west coast, it is an essential reference for divers, beachcombers, underwater photographers, and anyone else with an interest in this fascinating group.

 

“…after 17 years an updated and revised guide to eastern Pacific sea slugs has finally arrived. Nudibranchs & Sea Slugs of the Eastern Pacific simplifies species identification with updated descriptions, more detailed photos, color variations, egg ribbons, and comparisons to similar species, as well as the usual size, range, and habitat information…. (the authors) have compiled an exhaustive list of range extensions, new information, and documented dozens of likely new and undescribed species gleaned from photo collections and genetic sequencing data. These new finds and the changes they have made represent giant strides in what we now know about our sea slug friends.”
