All,

What are the smooth yellow nudies one can find in Edmonds UW park?

Thanks,

Without a pic it's a tough call. Does it look like this?

Easiest thing is go to my site and check out the nudibranchs of Puget Sound gallery.

Boy, I have no idea. I was hoping there would be an obvious candidate... Nevermind. :-)

These guys are commonly mislabeled because of the color. If it's yellow and round it's gotta be a Monterrey sea lemon but this isn't the case. Don't be discouraged it's part of the fun of diving. The percentage of divers that can tell the differences isn't all that big. The main guide for nudibranchs in this part of the world is out of print but you may still find them on Amazon. It is Eastern Pacific Nudibranchs by Dave Beherns. but you can scan my site and find most of the ones you are likely to see.
