Fried egg nudibranch (Phyllidia varicosa (Lamarck, 1801)) taken at Molokini Crater, around 15 m depth. Like many nudibranchs, the bright color serves as a warning to predators that the organism is toxic. Eggs of this species can occasionally be found as a colorless, spiral-shaped mass attached to rock.
