I have pretty much completed my panel of nudibranch and flatworm photographs from last month's trip. You can see it at:

nice....

what do you call the five footed light colored nudi behind the Jorunna ?

here is another one , nice generic

That particular Nude was so big, that I wanted something in the background to provide a scale of reference. I think it is an effective technique once in a while, don't you?

can't argue with that reasoning so long as no touching is involved. very effective as it shows just how big that thing really was. The biggest I've seen so far.

Hi Rick,

I'm an ID-freak (aka SCUBA nerd), so please bear with me. The big nudi you ID'd as Jorunna rubescens is ID'd as Kentrodoris rubescens in the Debelius book. Nudi names change from time to time because taxonomists can't make up their minds so I don't know which name is right. Anyone out there who can set this straight?

Awesome photos!
