Armina californica from Monterey, CA

From: Clinton Bauder
Hi Bill,
I was doing a deep dive in Monterey Bay and happened across an interesting nudibranch; Armina californica. This is a new one for me. Visibility was bad which made the dive rather like a night dive (except darker!) which may explain why this guy was out in plain sight.
I found it at the end of the dive and was a bit rushed but I think it was about 10 cm long. Depth was about 60m and the second photo shows a sea pen which may be a prey item though I did not observe that behavior.
