Clown nudibranch
Latin Name:	tropha catalinae
Geographic Range:	Range is from Japan to Baja by way of Alaska.
SCUBA Divers Info:
This is a reasonably large nudibranch up to three or four inches and colourful enough to stand out. I usually see these in more exposed areas for example Barkley Sound.
Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not normally inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
