Dirona albolineatafrosted nudibranchThis beautiful nudibranch is often found on Laminaria kelp. It is readily distinguished from the more common Opalescent nudibranch (Hermissenda crassicornis) by its frosted white tips and larger size. Be careful when you pull it out of the water, though, because it will probably start to break apart.
