The Red-Tipped Sea Goddess is a Nudibranch from the South Pacific. It has migrated through the Panama Canal (probably attached to a ship bottom or in a ballast tank)has found a home and is thriving in San Pedro's Barrier Reef. Photo taken yesterday Nov. 21 2007 by Charles Hargrove while on a dive with San Pedro Divemaster Juan Carlos.

thanks elbert, thats rad!!!

which dive site?

That is really rare! All I have ever seen here are Lettuce Nudibrachs and they are so tiny they are hardly noticable. I urge you to not tell where the site is or I'm afraid it will be trounced.

Scubalady, There are a lot of them most in 50 to 40 ' range in front of Tres Cocos.
'trounced' , nah
The majority of divers are sensitive and environmentally aware.
Its a wonderful thing about the industry diver are trained from day one not to touch. I hardly ever worry about the divers doing damage, its the landlubbers we have to worry about.

GORGEOUS! I love nudibranchs!

We dove Tres Cocos today and did not see anything like this. I understand about the land sharks.

Wow, that's awesome!! I'll be making sure I've got my magnifying glass in my pocket.

They are about 3" long, see the Anemones to its right they are about the size of a persons little finger. :-)

Scuba Lady I had a bifocal lens put in my scuba mask at age 40 :-o
