Hermissenda from California

October 17, 2002
From: Bruce Wight

Hi Bill,
Here is a photo of Hermissenda crassicornis I took on a three day trip out to Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands, California [September 2002]. Dive conditions were pretty bad with heavy surge and current in most of the areas we dove. There were a great many Tritonia festiva out on the South end of Anacapa in about 40-50 feet depth.
