Hopkinsia rosacea from Shaw's Cove
January 30, 2002
From: Bruce Wight
Hi Guys,
Conditions were wonderful last weekend [January, 2002] at Shaw's Cove in Laguna Beach [California] so we made a dive on Sunday and one on Monday. We saw at least twelve Hopkinsia rosacea on each dive. We found one that appeared to have three rhinophores but upon detail inspection of the images it only has two. One is branched forming two independent lamellate sections.
We also found Diaulula sandiegensis our share of Tylodina fungina and Laila cockerelli. Hope you enjoy the attached images that were taken on the two dives. It looks like the high pressure system is going to hold until Friday so this weekend may be good diving as well.
Take care,
Bruce Wight

Thanks Bruce,
It sounds like a productive outing. I'll add your 'funny' rhinophores to the Abnormalities Page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
