Tritonia festiva from British Columbia

October 24, 2003
From: Bruce Wight

Dear Bill
Here are some photos of Tritonia festiva from our recent trip to British Columbia.

Johanna and I were up at the Northern end of Vancouver Island the first week of October diving around Port Hardy and Browning Pass, British Columbia. This was our first time diving in Canada.

We also photographed Tritonia festiva which like Tochuina tetraquetra appeared to be feeding on the Gersemia. These animals took on the pink color unlike the many I have seen in California which are milky white in color.

Take care,
Bruce Wight

Thanks Bruce,
They certainly do seem to be feeding
