Hopkins' Rose Nudibranch (Ceratodoris rosacea)Observer
jeffgoddardDescription
One of two found, and the only nudibranchs I found in about one hour of searching this site on a -0.5' tide. Most of the pools and channels were scoured by the abundant cobbles present, and at a site like this, it's probably still too early in the season to find many nudibranchs.
