What looks like a series of magical glowing lights is actually a nudibranch! God I love these guys.

This one is called Janolus cristatus and it grows to around 75mm in length. What a tiny beauty!

Since the body is transparent, you can clearly see its intestines running throughout; especially in the first picture (my favorite)!
