Dirona Albolineata!

Also known as the white-lined dirona, the alabaster nudibranch, or frosted sea slug!

I found out about these guys recently and they've been on my mind ever since, just figured I'd share! :3

Some creatures I've found, for my fellow creature enjoyers out there. Featuring "unidentified squirm" as we have been calling the pink worm (maybe echiurus echiurus), onchidoris bilamellata (rough-mantled doris/barnacle nudibranch), what I think is hediste diversicolor (ragworm), a hermit crab of some kind that jumped out of its shell when I picked it up, and cebidichthys violaceus (monkeyface prickleback) which I promise I didn't yoink out of the water they hide under the rocks during low tide.
