Redondolina Dive

Post by Zen Diver »

Had a lovely dive tonight at Redondo, relaxing and enough life & variety to make it interesting. The air temps are warmer and the dog bowl water taps are running, so the showers can't be far behind :partydance: Spring is in the air! :joshsmith:

Heath's Dorid (I think. I find it hard to tell them from Monterrey dorids...)

It's a Monterrey dorid. Heath's are never that rough looking. They look more like frog skin. smooth with little warts all over. Like the pic below. Another identifiying feature is that Heath's have white gills and the Monterrey's will always be yellow. Hope that makes it easier in the future.
