Comment from the photographer: We were walking out on a jetty on the north side of Corpus Christi Bay, when we saw this nudibranch (?) swimming in the water. Was it coincidence that we just saw one the day before on Padre Island. We are wondering why we had not seen many before since we have been going to these beaches for years.
