About this work

Sea slug (Goniobranchus reticulatus), Anilao, Philippines. It lives in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean and it's between 27–34 millimetres (1.1–1.3 in) long. The species is hermaphroditic, with both male and female organs active at the same time. After mating, the external portion of the penis detaches, but is able to regrow within 24 hours.
