Aldisa sanguinea from Point Lobos, California

More from Point Lobos.

Pretty sure this one is Aldisa sanguinea, despite the lack of spots on its back. It's very small - maybe 6 or 7mm. When I first saw it I figured it was Rostanga pulchra but after checking the focus on my first shot I realized the rhinophores weren't right for Rostang a.

Locality: Point Lobos State Reserve, 17 meters, California, USA, Pacific, 4 March 2007, Rocky Reef. Length: 6-7 mm. Photographer: Clinton Bauder.

Cheers,

Hi Clinton,
This is an interesting specimen. Just shows us how much variation can exist within a species.

Thanks for sharing,
