a new nudibranch find (for me at least)

Post by dphershman »

Dove Titlow this morning with Andy and Mark. At the very end of the dive I found this tiny guy, an Ancula pacifica. I couldn't tell what it was just looking at it underwater as it was so small, but I decided to get a couple of shots of it to ID later on.

very cool to see something you haven't seen before :)

Nice find, it is also know as Ancula gibbosa.

I take photos because I like it, not because I'm good at it. :) by Unknown

Ancula gibbosa, or Ancula pacifica to those who think our Ancula is different than the east coast one. I prefer to think that ours are special :)
