Flabellina fusca from Alaska

August 6, 2002
From: Clinton Bauder

Hi Bill,
I think this one is Flabellina fusca. It was taken at Coronation Island in Alaska at about 10m. July 2002. Size was maybe 50mm.

This dive was a pain in the neck - it was a steep wall facing the prevailing swell combined with the fact that it was covered in interesting nudibranchs, most of which were rather small. When you're moving up and down 10 feet at a time it's hard to get the camera pointed at a small subject! :-)

Dear Clinton,
Nice photo - you obviously mastered the swell.
