Trapania tartanella from Peniche, Portugal

September 8, 2007
From: Joao Pedro Silva

Dear Bill,

Here's a nudibranch [Trapania tartanella] I had only seen once before on a different dive spot (Baleal is 3km away from Peniche) so I hope I've identified it correctly.

Locality: Peniche, 8 metres, Portugal, North Atlantic, 01 September 2007, Rocky bottom. Length: less than 1cm. Photographer: Joao Pedro Silva.

Not from yesterday's dive but from the day before that on the same spot.
Cheers,

Joao Pedro Tojal Loia Soares Silva

I am pretty sure your identification is correct
