Solomon Islands Nudibranchs

These pages show most of the species observed during two dive trips to the Solomons in 1987 and 1994. Obviously there is a lot more there that we did not happen to see.

Animals were not collected and no measuring device was used. Measurements are all eyeball estimates, usually of the largest specimen we observed.
