One of my pictures from Ambon made it into the guardians wildlife of the week series – link (pic 15) One thing not mentioned is the nudibranch was also laying eggs, they’re the red ribbon bit in the picture.

Well done on getting printed in the Guardian! Great image too.
Am I right in thinking, though, that it’s only a symbiotic relationship if both parties benefit from the arrangement?
I’ve looked into this before & to be honest I just got confused! Some say there has to be mutual benefit while others will include parasites as being in a symbiotic relationship purely because they live together. I wouldn’t argue either way really 🙂
what a cool photo!! and congrats on your Guardian entry 🙂
Thanks, I love nudibranchs they’re my fave thing to see
