Santa Barbara Janolus at Monterey Wharf 2. We have been seeing these up here the last bunch of years in the fall. They used to not be this far north.

This was the ideal diving site in the Ukrainian Black sea till there was a lot of Mytylus there. In 1930-40 years Rapana were spread there and all mytylus were eaten. Now there are not rapana too - they are small and ill and they are trying to eat crabs. And water is not so visible as even 10 years later.
