Galapagos nudibranch

February 18, 2004
From: Alex Hearn

On 4th February, whilst diving at 15 m on a vertical wall (Cousins Rock, Galápagos), we came across this 3-4 cm nudibranch. Would be interested in potential ID.

Dear Alex,
We can sometimes do the impossible, but I haven't tried miracles as yet. I suspect this is a species of Flabellina but I don't think we can see enough shape or colour to say much more.
Best wishes
