Thanks Jun,
Although not very noticeable, there is the hint of a blue patch in the middle of the 'head' behind the rhinophores, which links this is to most of the other animals in your messages. Also the bright opaque white patch on the pericardium clearly links this animal to the white patches found in many of the other photos. In this animal there are scattered black spots, each with a clear ring around them, and there are also traces of a black submarginal line around the parapodial edge, on both the inside and outside of the parapodia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
