  2. A couple of those characters look like they are ready for their own prime-time cartoon show or animated feature film. The Hypselodoris Bullocki (with Sandra Bullock's voice) and Nembrotha Cristata (with a black ghetto-brother patter) seem like excellent candidates.

  3. Ahem also, *I* knew about them too.
    Heck, I've even photographed a few..
    Here is the lovely Discodoris.
    I'll see if I can find a decent one of a Giant Doris. (not someone I once met in a pub in Clapham)
