Nudibranch & Sea Slug Identification Indo-Pacific ペーパーバック – 2015/10/1
The Indo-Pacific represents the largest expanse of tropical ocean in the world, stretching from the Indian Ocean coast of southern Africa and the Red Sea to the central Pacific of the Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island and the Marquesas. This region supports the most diverse marine fauna of any place in the world for most groups of organisms. The opisthobranchs (nudibranchs and other sea slugs) are no exception to this rule. There are about 3,000 described species of opisthobranchs in the world and at least 40% of these have been found exclusively in the Indo-Pacific tropics. This book illustrates 1,953 Indo-Pacific opisthobranchs, including many undescribed species.With the evolution of chemical defenses and the loss of the shell, came the evolution of the bright color patterns that are the signature of nudibranch diversity; vivid colors advertise the presence of toxicity or distastefulness. Other species went down the track of being cryptic, blending in with their surroundings and some evolved amazing strategies of resembling their specific prey. All of this beauty and color is on full display in 2,248 photographs on 408 pages.

The latest sea slug identification guide

It's no surprise that Terrence Gosliner is the world's leading authority on Indo-Pacific sea slugs, just as John E. Randall is the leading authority on Indo-Pacific fishes. In keeping with the latest taxonomic revisions, this book greatly updates the taxonomy of Indo-Pacific sea slugs and adds new species, including reversing the placement of the Jolly Green Giant in Ceratosoma as Ceratosoma sinuata. Interestingly, the unnamed species of Goniobranchus from Midway reminds me of Goniobranchus petechialis, especially the mantle coloration pattern.
If anyone is interested in shelless gastropods, I recommend this lavish field guide.
