September 13, 2003
From: Paul Sim


Hi Bill,
Thanks for your help on that Fijian nudibranch. Your the man! Here's one that I photographed last fall. My very knowlegeable friend and mentor Donna Gibbs (you have at least one photo of her husband Charlie under the Ancula Pacifica)has suggested it to be a triopha. Have you seen one of this coloration before?

Location: South Boyer Mooring Buoy, Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada
Depth: 45 feet
Temp: 51 degrees farenfeit
Date: 1 Nov 2002
Found on top of a pinacle on solid rock
Equipment: Bonica Multi (closeup)

Dear Paul,
This certainly could be a species of Triopha. Perhaps someone will recognise it for us
Best wishes,
