Doriopsilla albopunctata at San Nicolas Island

From: Chris Grossman

Dear Bill,
I took these pictures of Dendrodoris fulva at San Nicolas Island, California on July 18, 2003. The dive site is a a reef between Begg Rock and the Island called 7 fathom reef. The depth at the spot I took the pictures was about 10 fathoms [approx 20 meters]. The spot is subject to strong currents and is rocky, but very lush with a great deal of palm kelp.

Thanks Chris,
As you'll see on the species Fact Sheet, Dendrodoris fulva is now considered to be the same species as Doriopsilla albopunctata
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
