Halgerda terramtuentis from Hawaii

Hi Bill,

Here are some shots of the Hawaiian Halgerda terramtuentis. It is one of the more commonly observed nudibranchs in Hawaii; although you tend not to see large numbers at any one time, it lives in a pretty wide variety of primarily subtidal habitats and is usually well exposed to view both day and night. While it can be cryptic in multicolored sponge-encrusted ledges, it can also contrast with its surroundings in some areas.
