Nudi-Heaven 26 September, Bob's Rock & K41

Today was definitely a day for Nudi-fanciers. Armed with our team of visiting Swiss Nudi-spotters, Gabriel and Helena, as well as the ever-vigilant, Wayne, Bob's Rock was rich pickings today. Helena found this one (and there were a number out today (see below for K41)



Chromodoris magnifica? Just a tiny one spotted again by the Swiss team.


And I found this tiny little guy. He was less than 1cm long and the exposure (as well as the focus) was a real problem. But I am putting him here for proof.


Hypselodoris maculosa ? also see here:



And Helena found this tiny spec sitting pretty on a little rock. Still, he was about 1cm long and difficult to manage with my limited skills. As with the Nudi above, I have never seen this one before.

And this guy was relatively common in patches today.

Thuridilla lineolata

But it wasn't just about the Nudi's today. At K41 Wayne found an uncharacteristically obvious Ragged Scorpion Fish.


Then we had a recapitulation of the theme from Bob's Rock, someone apparently answering my prayers for Nudi's that we at least 5cm long. Thanks someone.


And this one definitely goes in the "variation on a theme" category. There is no way to determine what this one is without referring to the books. Later...

Phyllidiopsis krempfi ?


And, finally, for the day, this little magnifica was very well behaved for my last shot.
