Greetings Bill,
I think this is Glossodoris sedna. Could you confirm please?

Location: Sea of Cortez. [Gul of California]Dive site: Whale Island. North of La Paz. Less than 10' of water feeding on a wall just inside of a Cavern.
Thanks,
Rand

Dear Rand,
This is indeed G. sedna. This species was first described from animals collected at Puerto Penasco, at the northern end of the Sea of Cortez, so it's good to see a photo of another specimen from that region, since many on the Forum are of animals from the Florida region where it seems to have been introduced through human activity.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
