Friday Nudibranch Blogging


Janolus sp. were cunnyng and wyse,
In the volvell, in the quadrant, and in the astroloby,
To pronostycate truly the chaunce of fortunys dyse;
Som trete of theyr tirikys, some of astrology,
Some pseudo-propheta with ciromancy.

Those are cerata, and the red tips are probably just pigmentation (aposematic coloration, maybe?). I'm no expert, though...I just like them.
