Euselenops luniceps (Cuvier, 1817)

Marc must have a special relationship with Euselenops luniceps (Bill Rudman's Sea Slug Forum) as this is his second posting of the E. luniceps , the first being back in 2002 as the Branch of the Week (BOW). Actually I am quite envious of the many encounters Marc has had with this particular branch given I have never seen it in many years of Indo-Pacific travel. Luck of the draw as the ol' saying goes! But beyond being fortunate to find this guy, the ability to capture the essence of the animal sets Marc apart from the norm in under water photography! The sensory papillae detail is astounding! Extreme macro photography just keeps getting better and better!

WEBMASTER'S NOTES: Marc will always make the extra effort to get that picture of a lifetime. That's probably why he had almost a virtual monopoly on PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR during the years he was a member of the San Diego Photographic Society (SDUPS)!
