An elaborately patterned nudibranch, with sparkling rhinophores (analogous to an inside-out nose) and external gills (external lungs).
Goniobranchus geometricus

Glitter on the nose (rhinophores and gills) and some pinkish spots add glamour. These sparkling nudibranchs are cousins of the bus-stop nudibranch Goniobranchus hintuanensis and have the same habit of flapping the front of their mantle up and down as they travel.
