Micro Nudibranch with Parasite

This nudibranch is no larger than a grain of rice. It was not until I viewed the image on my laptop I realized that there was a parasite on its back. Scientist from the USA commented that this parasite when hatched will devour the sexual organs of the tiny nudi. Anilao, Batangas, Philippines. Nikon D300, Sea and Sea Housing. 105mm VR, +10 Subsee Adapter.
