Fairly common Nudi

Here's a nudi I've only seen one other time here in the Channel Islands. Other people say that they have seen it, but they don't know a name. Any idea?

Again, sorry for the focus thing. If only the situation with my: shutter lag, surge, and a dive buddy that was hurrying me along, could change Thanks!

hey Pat,

that's a Chromodoris macfarlandi

It's identified by its 3 yellow lines..

Mexichromis porterae has 2 yellow lines, with a blue line between them...

Thanks Scott! I went to Sea Slug Forum and started looking. About 30 minutes later and 100 downloaded pictures and I still hadn't found it. I wish there was another way of looking for a name of a specific nudi on that site similar to a reverse phone book. Regionalize the names and add a little thumbnail next to them so one could gloss through until something similar came up. Thnaks again.

I'm going looking for a copy of "Eastern Pacific Nudibranchs" by Beherens right now.
