Thanks! I can't really remember where I found these specific ones, but in my other 2 spottings I found them in a holdfast of some kelp floating near our boat a few years ago. There were several dozen and a lot of other cool critters in it!

Very nice series! Could you please mention in the habitat section where you spotted these? Thanks!
