Latin Name: Dendronotus rufus
Geographic Range: Range is from Alaska to Washington
SCUBA Divers Info:
I love this dendronotid it's gill colour is bright red and makes it very striking. It is also fairly large, say 6 to 8 inches. I do not see these very often but when I do they seem to prefer quiet water.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
