Nudibranches

ColourLovers has a collection of very colorful nudibranch photos, and their color palettes, too!

Part of the mollusk phylum, Nudibranchs are the shell-less relatives of the snail and are known for their garish colors. These tiny sea creatures are usually only 2cm - 6cm in length and can be found worldwide. They are able to thrive in any depth of salt water from the deepest darkest ocean floors to warm shallow water.

    The plural of “nudibranch” (pronounced “noodybrank”) is “nudibranchs”.

    Are the colour palettes to help you paint your home like a nudibranch?
