Undersea jewels : a colour guide to nudibranchs

by Gary Cobb and Richard C. Willan.

"This book is essentially the result of study of sea slugs conducted by Gary Cobb from March 2003 to May 2006 on the coast of Southern Queensland in the area popularly known as the Sunshine Coast...
This coastline comprises a multitude of intertidal and subtidal marine habitats, with a prevalence of open sandflats, boulder fields and deep kelp-covered rocky reefs...Coral reefs are not well represented, but there are coral formations on offshore reefs such as Flinder Reef. All these habitats support assemblages of nudibranchs." - publisher's blurb.
