Another crazy slug
This was one of the best we saw in the Philippines. The frilly bits on the back are the gills they breathe with. The bluey coloured things it is moving over are tunicates (or sea squirts) and more closely related to us than you might think!

Gee, that is colourfull indeed. What an amazing world.
If those blue thingies are our ancesters or relations, well ...that explains a lot!
