This is the prototype of my nudibranch inspired art/science exhibit, on display here in Connecticut at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, which remains open during these difficult times. If you're looking for a little relief from Covid sequestration, put on your M-95, get on I-95, and come slug it out.  The aquarium has lots of great marine creatures to look at, but you will not see many actual live sea slugs. An important takeaway from this exhibit is the fact that the vast majority of nudibranchs cannot be removed from their natural habitats without killing them, so the handful of live slugs that are on display represent some of the very few species that can be successfully kept in an aquarium environment.

It's a great show, there are some fabulous photographs by an international crew of slug shooters and, of course, there is sculpture from the world's greatest (and only, as far as I know) stone sea slug sculptor. No easy feat to make a claim like that on a planet of 7 billion plus people, but I'll bet my rhinophores on it.
