Halgerda dorid, Halgerda sp.

This is Halgerda batangas. If you're not a slug geek, this might not be a
very helpful description. Yes, this is a slug. More specifically, it's type of a
dorid nudibranch. The black tree-like structure at left is the animal's gill
plume. The two cylindrical projections at the right are sense organs called
rinophores.
