Palio dubia from New England

Bill -
While doing some checking on some of our local (New England / western Atlantic) nudibranchs I noticed you only had photos of Palio dubia, 'the rim-backed nudibranch' from the eastern Atlantic. Here is one from our side of the Atlantic. The coloration is a bit different, closer to the greenish description that is often mentioned.

This one was photographed in about 15 feet of water here in New England. It was small. I was using a Nikonos V with a 1:1 extension tube so as you can see the nudibranch was much shorter than the width of a 35mm slide.

Regards,
