A sneaky sea slug for #SeaSlugDay.
Branched dendronotus (Dendronotus venustus) are among the most inconspicuous nudibranchs in the kelp forest, resembling an unremarkable tuft of algae. Their diminutive size - in this case less than an inch long - makes them even harder to spot.
Just a piddly patch of pond scum, nothing to see here.

What a beauty!! It must take a keen eye to find these cuties in the kelp forest.
