As if on cue, water temperature around Palos Verdes recently dropped 3 - 5 degrees at depth.
Surge and current predominated on most of our dives, but vis has been remarkably good for this time of year.
Simnia snail
A 2-3mm juvenile Dendronotus iris!
Juvenile Dendronotus venustus
Polycera atra feeding on the busy bryozoan animal, Bugula neritina
In the field, Polycera is a drab gray-green until strobes light it up.
A tiny juvie Limacia cockerelli.
A slightly larger one.
Felimare porterae
Two juvenile nudis working the kelp blade - the lion nudi was so small that I didn't see the Flabellina trilineata.
Kevin found this quarter-inch juvenile Pseudoceros montereyensis.
Something large at last!
