Nudi ID?

Sorry to ask, I misplaced my book of nudi pictures and I don't think I have shot this kind before... I saw this pair on today's dive, around 70-80 ft in Cove 3.

Looks like a pair of Tritonia festiva, though they usually have some white markings on their back. Could be the way the light is hitting them. The color of the rhinophores and the size of the processes on the frontal veil argue against Tritonia diomedea, but I have yet to see one of those so I'm just going by the picture in Behrens.

i think it's a Diamond Back Tritonia - Tritonia festiva.

nice picture, too!

Thanks guys! Didn't realize I had misplaced my own copy of Behrens until this afternoon.
