? What is this little guy?

[rhyz]

I've seen 2 so far but as of yet I can't find any info on them.

And this guy:

fuchsia flatworm.. (saw one at makaha today)

and..

fried egg slug/nudibranch (usually see some big pairs at sharks' cove)

from here: http://www.marinelifephotography.com/

 

[justleesa]

there are two types of slugs that look like the fried egg, the one is called Phyllidia varicosa and the other Fryeria

One way to tell the two apart is to look at the underside. P. varicosa always has a dark line running the length of the foot; this species does not.

Ah wow, thanks guys......their cool as hell to watch, specially when the surge hits them and their trying like a mofo to just hang on to something. Thanks for the links, I only have my fish ID book here. Definitely gotta get the others because there is much I see and shoot and have no idea what it is, like these guys.

PS: My fish ID book is from J. Hoover, does a nice book too.

You need Hawaii's Sea Creatures for the other than fish stuff, very worth the $.
