2023 printing - The three leading scientific experts on nudibranchs and sea slugs, Terrence Gosliner, Ángel Valdés and David Behrens, collaborated to produce a comprehensive guide for divers and scientists to the Indo-Pacific region. The Indo-Pacific represents the largest expanse of tropical ocean in the world, stretching from the Indian Ocean coast of southern Africa and the Red Sea to the central Pacific of the Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island and the Marquesas. This region supports the most diverse marine fauna of any place in the world for most groups of marine organisms. The nudibranchs and sea slugs are no exception to this rule; there are about 3,000 described species of these organisms in the world and at least 40% of these have been found exclusively in the Indo-Pacific tropics. This book illustrates 2,138 Indo-Pacific nudibranchs and sea slugs, including many undescribed species. If you are scuba diving or snorkeling Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, New Caladonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga or French Polynesia, this is the book for you. Ebook also available from the publisher at fishid.com. Review: Awesome - Love this book. Complete, comprehensive information and beautiful photos. Worth every cent Review: The BEST sea life books! - I have quite a library of these books now, and every single one of them are beyond excellent. I love that you can get them for different areas, since there are different creatures in the different bodies of water. It is far easier to lug these books with me on a diving trip to a specific region that one HUGE book with creatures that would not even be in an area I am in. The pictures and description are so good. A wonderful resource, easy to read, superb quality. I hope to continue to collect others!

Good book for ID
I have a lot of the books from this publisher, so it probably isn't a surprise that I like this book as well. The critter books include quite a few slugs, but this book has so many more. Very interesting for people who like to ID their sea slugs.

Wonderful resource
In identifying subjects for my underwater photography I refer to this book often. My only comment is that sometimes the photo subjects shown in this book are slightly off from the creatures I've found... either the creatures display multiple variations not listed or else the photo transfer process isn't completely true. Otherwise, a good reference book.

Great pictures!
I had purchased another book before we went diving in Zanzibar but wasn't able to find all of the creatures that we saw. The dive shop we used had this one so I purchased it before we even got home. It is thorough and the pictures are great. It is a nice addition to our growing collection of ID books.

Stunning Pictures - Good knowledge source - Not only for nudi-nerds
Nudibranchs are fascinating... but 500+ pages full of smallish images and text might seem over the top. That is what I thought before I had this guide in my hand after a dive with our local shop in the Philippines. Went on Amazon, ordered the book. Together with the Reef ID book, the best there is about the Indo Pacific. Maybe I add the crustaceans in the future, to complete the collection about this area. However, I am very happy about the purchase and how the delivery worked.

Great Up-To-Date Nudibranch Reference
For the scuba diver and underwater photographer, this is a must have book. The number of newly discovered nudibranchs since the last edition of this book is significant and well worth the cost. Even for the non-diver, this is a fantastic book for anyone interested in marine life.

Great ID guide
Even though I have not been to the Indo-Pacific yet, I got this for when I someday do. The photos are bright and easy to identify, making it a great book regardless if you are diving in the Indo-Pacific.

Senza pari
Foto bellissime e altissima qualità Varietà infinite e per ora circa il 75% degli esemplari visti erano classificati, il rimanente aveva delle piccolissime differenze ma si poteva capire la famiglia Non ci sono equivalenti

Standardliteratur vom "Nudi-Papst"
Findet man in Südostasien in jedem einigermaßen vernünftigen Tauchresort und auf Liveaboards. Reicht völlig aus zur Bestimmung der gängigen Arten. Ideal für Unterwasser-Fotografen, die anhand der Fotos die Art bestimmen wollen. Wer tiefer in die Materie einsteigen möchte, muss Meeresbiologie studieren und sich mit den Erstbeschreibungen auseinander setzen. Terry Grosliner macht's einem da mit seinen Fotos und Beschreibungen einfacher. Da der wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisgewinn jedoch ein Prozess ist und Arten anderen Gattungen zugeordnet werden können, sollte man trotzdem noch mal bei Worms (World Register of Marine Species) nachschauen, denn die sind aktuell.
