Mexican Dancer Nudibranch
(Elysia diomedea,) and iridescent Orange Cup Coral, probably (Tubastraea
coccinea.) |
* The shallow east walls of Isla San Pedro
Nolasco are especially rich in both vertebrate and invertebrate life. The
above image is an example. Most conspicuous is the Mexican
Dancer Nudibranch (Tridachiella diomedea,) or as it now is known,
(Elysia diomedea,) is seasonably abundant in
various sites in the Sea of Cortez. To the right is the Orange Cup
Coral, sometimes called the Sun Coral or Orange Tube Coral. In the
