- Nudi Pixel is without a doubt the best website regarding the identification of nudibranchs! As an amateur photographer with limited knowledge of the subject matter, I find the search options easy and understandable. The information regarding geographical location is priceless as it saves time with a search. To see one s own pictures posted on your site is very rewarding and it acts both as a personal database and as encouragement to photograph more nudis! Thanks to the team...

- In my opinion Nudi Pixel is currently the best site for identification and verification of Nudibranchs on the net. I ve been a huge fan of Nudibranchs ever since I started underwater photography. But even with books and websites it was difficult to properly identify the critters I was shooting. That all changed when a friend told me about Nudi Pixel.
Thank you so much to the entire staff and renowned experts of Nudi Pixel. Now I know the names of my Nudibranchs from Anilao. - 16 years ago

- You guys make the identification of my sea slugs so easy now! Eventually I think I may as well link my Sea Slug page directly to yours instead! Well done and keep it up!

- I am a relatively new nudibranch enthusiast. As a newbie, my first challenge was finding an easy-to-use resource for identifying my pictures. This site has filled that void and is much easier to use than the multitude of ID books that I own. My favorite aspect of the site is the ability to submit unidentified pictures and get them quickly identified by an expert in the field. Thanks Erwin for creating a great website that we can all use to share information about these amazing critters.

- For me, nudibranchs bring joy while making for a great study. So when a group is able to pool together and share in their love of these creatures, one can only expect good things. The Nudi Pixel team has done that. I like the expert identifications, and it s just great fun see what others are discovering.
The collection of images continues to grow and gets every day. I d especially love to see more nudibranch from the temperate regions of the world. So I can only encourage everyone to keep up with their contributions and that more of you will join in. And I thank the Nudi Pixel team for the great job on keeping the site current. It s what keeps me coming back day after day. - 17 years ago

- Hello Nudi Pixel people! Just wanted to tell you how much I love this site. I check it just about weekly for new shots and nudies. I ve been able to identify a number of the little guys I ve photographed by surfing your data base. I love it. anyways, you should think about adding a \"rank this pic\" option or something. some of the photos on here are really top notch and deserve to be recognized as such! Thanks for keeping the love of nudies alive!

- I m a fairly newcomer to nudibranch appreciation, but I have come to have a true appreciation for them in the last 9 months. I find that when I find a nudibranch I haven t seen before, I have two options, to search through websites that may or may not have easy to navigate thumbnails of the nudibranchs, or I can go to Nudi Pixel and quickly see all the other nudibranchs that other divers have posted. I have been able to identify several of the nudibranchs that are new to me by using Nudi Pixel. I have found the quality of the pictures to be outstanding and have truly come to appreciate the service it provides.

- My fascination with Nudibranch’s began few years ago while diving around Mabul Island, we had dived there on several occasions and on one particular trip I purchased a Nikon digital SLR camera.
I soon began to notice all the little creatures crawling over the coral, I had no idea what they were or what they were called. After one or two trips I had built up a small collection of these beautiful little creatures, I purchased several books that would help me identify them, although the books were extremely useful they were by their very nature very limited, there was no interaction. I had begun to show my Nudibranch photo’s on my newly developed website www.seatreker.com and was getting some good feedback. Each time I found a new Nudibranch I struggled to find its name or information about the species. Then I discovered a great website called Nudi Pixel and I was overwhelmed by the information that it contained. Not only was it full of useful information but it also encouraged participation from enthusiastic Nudibranch lovers. It allows the underwater photographer to upload their captured images and have them reviewed or correctly named by leading experts in this specialist field. The uploaded photos are stored online and can be accessed through the photographers name and viewed online with all the relevent information to hand. The layout of the site is especially good for amateurs like me, the identification heading on the site is extremely simple and easy to use.
You can search by genus or by species, by location or similarities, the text available alongside the photo’s is very informative and easy for the amateur to understand, this website goes a long way to demystify the technical and scientific names usually associated with a specialist field like this.
I have found it to be extremely useful and pleasurable to surf when just browsing the photo’s uploaded to the site by amateurs like me. It is indeed an excellent reference tool that allows much needed interaction. - 17 years ago

- Nudi Pixel is a very good nudibranch reference library to us. We have introduced a lot of our divers to check out Nudi Pixel if they have any problem identifying the nudibranch they find during their dive, and encourage them to participate in posting interesting nudibranch photo to make the library better. Our dive crew learn a great deal about nudibranch from Nudi Pixel too, and the experts who work closely with the Nudi Pixel team has been the most helpful in providing information on some of the rare species we find in our area. We are very glad to have found Nudi Pixel where we can share out love of nudibranch with those who also share the passion, and meet others who also love nudibranch. There should be more web pages like this for other marine creature too, like crustacean and so on. Keep up the good job Erwin!

- Nudi Pixel is the biggest and the best nudibranch data bank on the net. I ve learned a lot about nudibranchs and am still learning through this great site.
You can see a lot of awesome and beautiful works of many talented photographer from all over the world.
Very informative and useful. Wish all the best! - 17 years ago

- The important thing for me is, that I can browse through the seaslugs species with pictures, because I am not a scientist. To see all pictures sorted by class, subclass, order, suborder or family makes it really fast and easy for me to identify a sea slug. Also the species similarity page helps a lot.
The next good points are the professional comments from the experts, like Dr. Richard C. Willan, on the pictures. From his comments, I learned a lot.
Overall, your site is clear, fast and very professional. - 17 years ago

- I was introduced to Nudipixel about 12 months ago and I can easily say this is the best resource on the internet for nudibranchs that I have come across. It s incredibly simple to use and find different species and one of the best features is that it is so simple for users to upload their nudibranch images and have them included in the species pages. It s a great way to show off nudie images to the rest of the world! This is the only website that I use now to assist with any of my nudibranch identifications, such a great resource that offers so much! Congratulations to Erwin and the rest of the team for putting such a great website together.

- I think that the Nudi Pixel web site is an excellent project for keen underwater photographers and aquatic naturalists to post their discoveries and new images on. It allows divers and the world to share in the fantastic diversity of the World of Water and each new finding brings about a collective spirit to all participants. The added educational opportunities from having materials identified by authorities are ongoing, for unless we have a name as a reference point for a creature, we have no way of learning more about it, or separating one creature from another.
As a pioneer of aquatic visual identification systems I compliment everybody concerned, especially the Nudi Pixel host Erwin Kodiat, for I know only too well how much work and effort goes into the upkeep of such a project.
The Nudi Pixel web site has been a specific resource in the hunt for images for my newest book NUDIBRANCHS ENCYCLOPEDIA and a number of excellent images were sourced for this publication. This type of exposure gives all participants the opportunity to have their work published in authoritative field guides alongside some of the best aquatic photographers in the world.
Best wishes to all,

- Dear Erwin, it was a pleasure for me to learn about NUDI PIXEL during the production of my new IKAN-volume NUDIBRANCHS OF THE WORLD. You provided lots of species which I did not know yet and gave us the connection to the photographers represented by NUDI PIXEL. Thanks again for this service
