He rounds a corner on the wall and there shining like a bea- con are a pair of Hypselodoris iacula nudibranchs. Every time he sees a nudi he wonders just how they even got the common name that they usually go by, which is sea slug. One gets the feeling of a slimy, unattractive, boring slug when you use that name, yet the colors and variations of nudi- branchs are boundless. They are far too amazing for one to dare call them a slug. Roland lets a little laugh come out his regulator as he shoots them, thinking this pair look almost like the Taoist yin and yang symbol, except they are only full of light with no traces of dark- ness. True purity. True perfection.
