These fellows are surprisingly difficult to photograph. Their semi-transparent low-contrast bodies make my camera hunt for a focus. And since they're in the shallows the surface waves tend to make the eel grass (and the diver) twist and turn. And to top it off, the particulates this close to shore seem to always be worse.
Other than the Hoodeds, there were also several nice Clown Nudibranchs Triopha catalinae out on the Triumph. I haven't seen a lot of these this past few months so they were a nice surprise. Must be plenty of Bryozoans on that old wood for them to feed on.
