Another incredible dive at Salt Creek near Port Angeles. Today we saw something incredibly special- a nudibranch we haven't found before! Meet Tochuina tetraquetra- the lemon peel nudibranch! We didn't expect them to be so huge. This guy must've been between 8-12 inches long! HUGE for a nudibranch!
