* The above habitat was near the top of a shallow
wall on eastern Isla San Pedro Nolasco, There was considerable water
motion, and we and the nudibranchs were continually tossed about. This
Nudibranch, the Mexican Dancer (Elysia diomedea,) formerly known as (Tridachiella diomedea,) was located in an
invertebrate-rich habitat. Visible are yellow Sponges, brown, purple and
white Crustose Coralline Algae, a dark navy blue algae, and a purple Coralline
algae. We were unable to identify either
the alga or the sponges.
