EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Book Description
The book provides stunning photos and breaks new ground in demonstrating the variation within species. It also provides a great amount of information about the basic biology of opisthobranchs, including food preferences of the highly specialized diet of most nudibranchs and their relatives, their egg masses and defensive mechanisms.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

A groundbreaker  
I'm an avid scuba diver, and I dive mostly in the Caribbean Sea. I love to photograph macro (small) subjects, especially sea slugs. Unfortunately, it's been difficult to find a single book with a comprehensive collection of Caribbean sea slugs. This book, however, does a very good job of presenting dozens of species and variations with color photographs, description, habitat, and range.

My only quibble is that some of the photos are not the best quality, but I know that some of these species have been rarely photographed, so there may not be a big selection available. That's a minor fault, however. Overall, the book is an invaluable addition to my library, and I'm looking forward to using it to help find and identify sea slugs in the Caribbean.

Highly recommended.
