Nudi ID Confirmation

Post by Chenari »

Went for a dive at Fox Island West Wall today, found a couple new critters that I'm fairly sure I've IDed correctly. The first I found was a teeny little Nudibranch sitting on some Hydroids.

I've tentatively IDed it as a White-Crusted Aeolid Cuthona albocrusta

And this one I've IDed as the very originally named Green Flatworm Phylloplana viridis.

Wow! Awesome find And nice work getting an identifyable photo
Looks like Cuthona albocrusta, The white crusted Aeolid page 125 in Dave's book
