Ningaloo January 2009 - nudibranchs

[alcina]

Well, 2009 has started with a few dives so that's already an improvement over 2008! The nudibranchs are everywhere again and we have even found TWO new (to us) ones in the last couple of days. Can't beat that.

Here's a little selection from the zillions we saw:

01 - Chromodoris fidelis


02 - Janolus sp


03 - Tambja morosa



04 - Cadlinella ornatissima


05 - mating & laying Chromodoris geometricas


06 - hungry Moridilla brockii


07 - Flabellina exoptata


08 - Gymnodoris rubropapulosa


09 - juvenile Spanish Dancer Hexabranchus sanguineus


10 - our first new guy: Phestilla melanobranchia


11 - our second new guy thanks to my dive bud, Mary: Favorinus tsuruganus


That's a good start There are more in my Flickr stuff and Facebook and in my blog

More photos from the dives coming soon ... enjoy!

Well, poop, looks like these links don't work either!
