Antiopella cristata, by Jose Salmerón

It is a gift from the sea to find it, for me the most beautiful nudibranch in the Mediterranean.

I like to investigate the origin of the names of the species and I especially liked the one of this nudi price:

"Antiopella" the fact that it is a marine animal and in particular a nudibranch suggests that it is Antiope, the daughter of the guardian of the winds Aeolus and Enarete, lover of Poseidon, there it is😊😉

cristata: from Latin [cristatus, a, um] = crested, crested, related to the caruncle among the rhinophores.
