Julie, Terry, Gary and David on this single, shore entry night dive of 111 minutes. Maximum depth 6.9 m, 27 C water temperature and 3 m viz.
The species count wasn't anything to crow about but we still managed to find a new one to our list. Dermatobranchus sp. 6 is a little 10 mm orange nudibranch that exhibited unusual burrowing behaviour. It was very active and moved at a much faster pace than other species of Dermatobranchus we have observed.
