Comments	The frosted nudibranch is always a hit with beachcombers. One of my favorite school-group tricks is to gently hold this nudibranch out of the water where it looks like an off-colored blob of goo. Then I submerge it in water and the tentacles immediately unfurl and show the beauty of this animal. Always gets a gasp!
