Hopkinsinia rosacea from Catalina Island, CA

February 27, 2004
From: James Lyle

I believe this is Hopkinsia rosacea. It was a very small specimen, about 5mm long. It was found on the side of the wreck of the Valiant located in Descanso Bay, near Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California. The depth was 90 feet, the water temp was 53 degrees F, and there were no other individuals were spotted on the wreck.
