Well, today I start my long journey home. Alor to Kupang. Kupang to Jakarta. Jakarta to Tokyo. Tokyo to Chicago.
This has been a pretty epic trip. I think we ended up with such a good nudi count because Pirjo was here too.
Here are the stats:
233 Unique Species of Nudibranchs. Although I went fast and made some mistakes, so once I go through everything again, this number may change.
We kept finding new nudis every day. I think there were only a few dives where I didn’t find a new species.
I'm trying a new thing where I am keeping track of a Life List of Nudis so I can tell which ones are new for me in life. For this trip to Alor, here are the 19 new ones:
- Aegires exeches
- Aldisa williamsi
- Chromodoris sp. 12
- Chromodoris sp. 14
- Dendrodoris carbunculosa
- Dermatobranchus sp. 18
- Elysia sp. 15
- Eubranchus sp. 17
- Goniobranchus sinensis
- Goniodoris sp. 6
- Goniodoris sp. 7
- Haminoea ovalis
- Hypselodoris paradisa
- Hypselodoris yarae
- Mexichromis similaris
- Platydoris inframaculata
- Tenellia sp. 76
- Thorunna australis
- Verconia varians
I did 59 Dives bringing me to a lifetime total of 2249.
Until next time!
