Hi, I was diving in Monterey, Calif. a couple days ago and saw a nudibranch (I think) that I can't seem to Google for. It was 10-15cm long, about 5cm diameter, mostly orange. A few white spots near the head. It reminded me of nothing so much as a "Creamsicle", an American dessert that has bright artificial orange ice on the outside and "cream" on the inside. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. No pictures, I have yet to get a camera.
i have not dived there but the web is full of reference photos!
 
Been a while since I've posted here.
Blue Heron Bridge find. About 1/4" long, and super speedy!!!

Pretty poor visibility today (~5ft) with lots of particulate and backscatter but at least the water is now in the low 40s again here in New England.

Some shots from my recent trip to Bangka, North Sulawesi

Doriprismatica atromarginata - very common around Bangka, and some like this one very large 3-4cm



Flabellina exoptata



Chromodoris annae - extremely common, especially on the house reef



Flabellina rubrolineata



Phyllida occelata - fairly common and probably the largest of the nudis spotted around the Bangka area along with the D. atromarginata

Did you use a snoot for that Chromodoris magnifica shot above? Beautiful.

Hi Rob thanks.

No snoot, just positioning of the strobes to get a decent black background.
