Latin Name: polycera tricolour
Geographic Range: Range is from Mexico to Barkley Sound, BC.
SCUBA Divers Info:
This is a small (1 inch) but very pretty nudibranch. I live at the northern end of this nudibranch's range and I only ever see it in Barkley Sound, BC. If you want to find it dive off the dock at Rendevous Dive Charters, I have reliably found it there. I occassionally see it throughout Barkley Sound.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not normally inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
