Top pic - Leopard Dorid
-Yellow Margin Dorid (I think)
-Alabaster Nudibranch AKA White Lined Dirona
-Janolus fuscus
-Opalescent Nudi, Hermissendra crassicornis
-I think two Yellow Margin Dorids, they are mating
-Bottom one looks like a Shaggy Mouse, but may not be. I don't remember the "gills" on the back... have to check.

[Diver_Dave]

There are lots more too thats just the tip of the ice burg.....Injoy them when u see them.. Nuds r one of the cool critters we have a lot of them there just great....

[Sounder]

You really need to take Janna's REEF class! Glad Tom was here - "Mr. all nudi all the time."

[nice-diver]

ya, I missed the newport class last week

Number 7 is Nanaimo Dorid _ Acanthodoris nanaimoensis

[Tom Nic]

Thanks Jan... I'm still fuzzy on the white dorids... there are several that look very much alike, even in the books.

[Jan K]

They are confusing, I agree. I think that #6 might be Hudson's Dorid ( Acanthodoris hudsoni). They too have yellow margins, many times it helps to add the scientific name for lot of the common names are confusing things more then they clarify, for example the Sea Lemon name is attached to yellow slugs of different species. But even the experts sometimes struggle with these. Meanwhile, keep taking pictures and lets correct each other mistakes

Jeff, I think I had every name I gave you wrong. Sorry about that dude.
