| SCUBA Divers Info: |
| Two common nudibranchs that I find hard to tell apart. They can
be identified by the red gills with white tips and unlike the Opalescent nudibranch there is no stripe
down the back. They are common on walls or sandy and muddy
bottoms. |
Beachwalkers Info: |
| This animal does not inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling. |
