Janolus cristatus nudibranch

In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful and unique nudibranchs which can be found in the Mediterranean.  Its size is around 4cm, and its body looks like a translucent collection of tubular bubbles trying to float up.  Its head area is on the right (you can see the rhinophores) and it has thin white stripes running along its back.  Each time I see one of these I want to take a dozen photos of it, then take it home.  If I ever have an aquarium, I´d love to populate it with nudibranchs, with this one being the first.
