Description For the Creatures with Striking Features contest at

From Wikipedia:

"A nudibranch is a member of Nudibranchia, a group of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusks which shed their shell after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colors and striking forms. There are more than 3,000 described species of nudibranchs.

The word "nudibranch" comes from the Latin nudus, naked, and the Greek βραγχια, brankhia, gills.

Nudibranchs are often casually called sea slugs, but many sea slugs belong to several taxonomic groups which are not closely related to nudibranchs. A number of these other sea slugs, such as the colorful Aglajidae, are often confused with nudibranchs."

I stuffed him with bean bag pellets to make him more squishy.

Well, unfortunately I did it freehand so I don't have a pattern written for it.

It's cute~! It would also make a great back pillow if it's large enough.

WOW!! Great work!! I love the colors you selected for your nudibranch! I must admit, after hearing the derrivatives of the naem, I want to call him a "Nudey-slug"
