Hopkins Rose (Okenia rosacea) at Del Monte beach, Monterey. I know we've had it on this thread before, but this is the first time I've been able to clearly see the pink bryozoan that they feed on and take their own color from.

I used a teleconverter and +10 diopter to get a shot of their favorite snack, Eurystomella bilabiata.

On my last dive I found my first Cuthona abronia after diving Palos Verdes for 27 years.

I feel spoiled when I find a large nudibranch. This two inch long Peltodoris mullineri was near the 1/8" Cuthona abronia.

I've been spending a lot of time lately watching Dendronotus iris hunting tube anemones - it's an impressive sight. Here's one mid-lunge (it missed):

The anemone retracted and the nudi's head went with it.
 
Merry Christmas Nudi friends!
 
May 2017 bring lots of nudis to all of us :D
