Re: Nudibranch ID

Well folks, it turns out it's a hermaea olivae; an odd color. Especially because I actually saw several of that same species but they were all a greenish brown. I know color varies based on what type of algae they are eating; I just find it odd that one nudibranch at the same location and time is a ...

I love scuba diving more than anything. I'd love to make some dive buddies around the Seattle area. My ...
