New Nudibranch...Any ideas

[Chad_Ordelheide]

Howdy All,
I found this nudibranch while diving off of Guam. It's the first one we have ever seen. Maybe its common elsewhere but we were excited :10: Anyway, if anybody knows anything about it, please let me know!!
Location Info:
1/2 - 1 inch long
20ft of water
Guam, Southpacific

It's a Halgerda tessellata. Not common, but I know a place where I can always find them. I good friend of mine showed me where, they are his favorite. Here's a couple of shots I took a while back.

Way cool.

Oh that's strange! It looks like it's trying to mimic a sponge or compound tunicate.

Thanks Rooster, where do you usually dive. I found these at Asan Cut!
