Dan, I see you found a Mosshead Warbonnet too :) I really wanted to see one of those.

Also, the starfish munching on California Berthella.

And, what the heck is that flat, slug looking thing. Never seen one of those.

the flat slug looking thing is a Spotted Flatworm, Eurylepta leoparda

I seem to recall that the sea star was eating something that was much larger than a berthella, it looked to me like a Giant White Dorid, Doris odhneri. there were a number of them nearby. It could also have been a whitish colored Noble Sea Lemon perhaps, but I didn't pry the sea star off of his prey to find out.

Awesome. Thanks Dan. I've never seen a flatworm like that. Very cool find.

And nice hummer bird pics. What lens did you use for those?

Really beautiful shots guys! It looks like you hit the jackpot of awesome critters!! I'm glad you were able to see the huge cloud sponges! Also it's so cool you saw candy stripes and a Juvie Yelloweye! I hope we can all head up to Canada or the San Juan's soon! I miss you! :)
Have a great day! I'm fighting a evil cold/sore throat. I hope it's better by the Star Trek exhibit on Friday!
