A nudibranch (Flabellina c.f. pellucida) rafting in open water. When nudibranchs find themselves in areas low in food they will sometimes release themselves into open water and drift with the currents in search of better conditions. I watched this individual climb to the edge of a piece of kelp, let go and drift. Gulen, Norway. North East Atlantic Ocean.
