Nudi ID

Post by YellowEye »

Hi
Yesterday at PT I saw the following nudibranch, which I don't think I've noticed before, and I couldn't find a certain id in my id book. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks! That's the closest I found in the ID books too. Wasn't sure about the stripe and colors.

The more I look at it the less sure I am. It could easily be D. Venustus also and that is where I am leaning at the moment. These guys are very versatile, They have many color variations. Yellow, orange, browns, beige's, even red.
