Geitadoris sp. # 3
These two geitodoris are a good example of how varied the colours can be in one species. At first I thought I had only found one large nudibranch, only to discover that the sponge I thought it was feeding on was another smaller animal. I was fortunate to find these in the lower intertidal zone (1.5 m) in a rocky, surge-prone habitat. Their food sponge and their eggs were all neatly assembled.
