Hello divers,
I'm a grad student and I am currently studying the sea slug Navanax inermis and Navanax polyalphos. I'm looking at pattern distribution throughout California and Mexico (Baja/Gulf) and I need some help locating more specimens. The best place to find N. inermis is in sandy beds near sea grass. I've been to the sea grass beds in Long Beach and I've see a few at Corona Del Mar, but I'm not sure where else to look for them. I'm not sure where the best place to locate N. polyalphos is. Here are links to what the two slugs look like.

***It's important to note that both slugs come with a wide range of colors and patterns, so if you saw anything that even looked remotely like either of these, I would be happy to know about it. I could also tell you which is which if you happen to have any pictures of them.
If anyone can give me a hand, please let me know if you've seen either slug, when you saw them (time of year) and where you saw them. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
