Unless I am very mistaken this is Triopha catalinae which is a well known species in California. In North America it has been recorded from Alaska to Baja California. Baba (1957) also records it once from northern Japan. This is a very interesting find, confirming its presence in the NW Pacific.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
