Another New Nudibranch to ID

[Chad_Ordelheide]

We found this one in about 45 feet of water, off of Guam. This is the first time I've seen one, any ideas? Thanks for the help ;-)

Hey where did you find this Nudi? I saw the same type of Nudi in about 50 ft of water on my decent to the sea plane in Apra Harbor. Ive been back to the sea plane several times but still haven't found one similar again. Good shot, my shot was a bit blurry.

Chad -

Lovely critter...but it's time to buy some books

Keep 'em coming!

Shhh, books might distract people away from using scubaboard resources and by such, creating useful threads like these for those of us, mostly non-photo types, who while appreciating the beauty in nature (keep da pictures a comin'), don't care so much about the latin and greek etymology. <grin>

LOL - that's what the Underwater Photo section is for...pure enjoyment, not much Latin

But I love fiddling around trying to ID stuff so I don't mind...just teasing Chad a little!
