Nudibranchs and allies from Hazard Canyon Reef, San Luis Obispo Co., CA, 1999-2021
Below is a link to the third of four papers planned with my twin sons on nudibranchs and allies from Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, this one Hazard Canyon Reef, an intertidal site in Montana de Oro State Park well known to users of iNaturalist in the region. This paper follows the same general format as the previous two papers, but includes a table (on p. 546) listing species found by other observers (including @marisa_a, @arheyman, @noiselessowl, @anudibranchmom, @kueda, @dpom, and @craigahoover) at Hazard Canyon and in the subtidal nearby that we did not observe during our study.
In our 50 total trips to Hazard Canyon we recorded 5919 individuals of heterobranch sea slugs from 63 species, 57 of which were nudibranchs. In one additional trip, on 5 June 2023, I found another 60 individuals from 16 species, none of which were new additions to our overall list.

😍
these are awesome!
There's a ledge there ... it's my Disneyland. THANKS
of course I had to look up who all saw the species table 2...
Yes, some of those ledges are wilderness mosaic ocean paradise to me!
I look forward to seeing posts of additional species from each of these sites - and please let me know if you think of any species seen prior to about January 2023 that I might have overlooked when I complied Table 2 for the paper on Hazard Canyon.
