Nudibranch, Olives Aeolid, aeolidiella oliviae
Got excited that I found a new nudi species that I haven't seen before. Turns out it's a dirona picta. Nice coloring on this one, the one's I've seen before are all brownish
Colorful Dirona, Dirona picta, Nudibranch
Another angle of the dirona picta

Thought this one was a red-headed aeolid. Nope, just one of the billion three-lined aeolids that scatter the reef
Nudibranch, Three-lined Aeolid, Coryphella cf. trilineata
Couldn't tell what this was originally. It is, of course, just another three-lined aeolid
Nudibranch, Three-lined Aeolid, Coryphella cf. trilineata
A rare find at Shaws! A very orange noble dorid. What is up with so many nudi species at Shaws having a deep orange or brownish tint to them?
Noble Dorid, Peltodoris nobilis, Nudibranch
