Malacology is the branch of zoology in charge of the study of molluscs, the second phylum with the largest number of described species. A division of malacology, conchology, is in charge of the study of shelled molluscs.
This nudibranch (Felimare californiensis) is making a comeback to a location it hasn't been to in years. First discovered off the coast of Southern California in 1902, it was thought to be extinct in the region since 1984 due to pollution. But the nudibranch, with its blue and gold color scheme (matching the University of California), has been spotted off the Southern California coast several times since 2003. Scientists have their fingers crossed that this indicates a larger comeback for the species.
