A few pics from our latest dives.

From Catalina island, here's a new-to-us nudi, Fabellina pricei (some investigators have reclassified this as Apata pricei, but the jury is still out).

We found a couple of these not-so-common Berthella chacei on a Palos Verdes reef. The small, reduced internal shell is apparent.
