Anacapa dive on the Peace 4-17

[bperc]

I got to go out on the Peace to Anacapa on April 17. It was a great trip with good visibility. We did four dives that were each 50-60 minutes. The crew is great. We were never rushed. I finally have a picture of a Spanish Shawl. I have three pictures that I need help identifying the nudibranchs.
Thanks

Are sea hares considered to be nudiebranch?

marine gastropod mulluscs. Aplysiomorpha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia they seem to have a lack of a normal shell so in a way they are nudi.

Sea hares and nudibranchs are both opisthobranchs (subclass) in the gastropods (class) but not in the same order (sea hares in the order Anaspidea and nudibranchs in the order Nudibranchia).

Post more pics please if you don't mind! I love the nudies!! So awesome!

I lived in Ventura/Oxnard for 4 years, never dove out there.
Too much travel and work.
