Field Notes

Description:

Green in colour with light pinkish edges to its frills. The maximum length of this species is about 5 cm and 3 cm in width.

Habitat:

At a big manmade tidal pool where locals swim. Cove Bay, Saba, Dutch Antilles. Depth 40cm.

Notes:

I have been spotting these nearly everyday while diving but could never take a nice picture of it. Because it was shallow, the light came in and the picture turned out ok.
