Dear Bill,
Ok, now I have more time to tell you about the nudibranch I found!

Doing some skin diving close to the beach, here in Santa Marta, I found 25 nudibranchs all from the same species I think. I found in shallow water, like 2-3 meters (6-10 feet).

I collected one and took it to my university. I also took some pictures of it, but the film did not go well. I looked in Marcus (1976) and in Humman (1996) for some pictures of the nudibranch and its characteristics and some teachers told me that it seems to be Dondice occidentalis.

Now, I am going to collect another animal and I will take a picture with a good camera. I will send some pictures to you.

Thanks again, and excuse my English
I hope you can understand!

Dear Phanor,
I'm glad you've found an animal which is plentiful enough to work with. I look forward to seeing some photos. And your English is great.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
