Latin Name: Aldisa cooperi
Geographic Range: Range is from Alaska to California
SCUBA Divers Info:
I have not seen this dorid very often but when I have it has been in high current and as pictured here it was on orange/red sponge which it eats. The row of dark spots down the center of the body are a great ID characteristic.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
