Hypselodoris ghiselini from the Sea of Cortez

From: Scott Johnson


Hi Bill,

The Sea of Cortez species Hypselodoris ghiselini is one of those with background coloration so dark it seems to suck up the light from a strobe. Specimens seem to range from very dark blue to black, scattered with yellow spots. These individuals, about 25-30mm in length, were photographed at a depth of about 5 meters at Punta Chivato, on the Baja side of the Gulf of California.
