Top That!

It was an awesome last day of diving.

On the morning surface interval, we went to the bay where the Melibes are.  The Chinese are building a dive resort there.  It’s beautiful little alcove of a beach.

I dove with just Tops on the last two dives.  On the night dive, Tops showed me more than nudibranchs.  There was this one wall with like dozens of sea horses.  Super cool.

Here are the nudis I saw on the last day:

111 - Flabellina riwo

112 - Goniobranchus sp.
Hsin Li says Looks similar to Goniobranchus sp. 40.  
From Pirjo: I think the  nudi you sent to Nudibase is  not Goniobranchus sp. 40. We saw G sp.40  on 3/12/18 and it looks different, it has orange tips on the rhinophores  and an orange line around the mantle. I would leave it Goniobranchus sp.

113 - Mexichromis pusilla
 

114 - Rostanga sp. 9

115 - Hypselodoris maculosa

116 - Thuridilla albopustulosa

117 - Goniobranchus albonares

118 - Phyllidiella pustulosa

119 - Philinopsis sp. 2

120 - Phyllidia ocellata

121 - Dermatobranchus sp. 7

122 - Flabellina bicolor

123 - Cuthona sp. 37

124 - Chromodoris boucheti

125 - Chelidonura amoena

126 - Trapania armilla

127 - Dermatobranchus fasciatus

128 - Coriocella hibyae

129 - Noumeaella sp. 3

130 - Favorinus japonicus

131 - Phyllodesmium lizardensis

132 - Babakina indopacifica

133 - Pleurobranchus peroni

134 - Tritonia sp. 10
