Bill,
Here are some scans of Elysia rufescens you can probably use. Sorry about the glare on the mouth parts on the full animal.
UPPER: 60mm; Guam, Pago Bay, reef flat; 13 July 1984 on Bryopsis pennata
MIDDLE: dorsal view of body behind the head, normally hidden by parapodia showing pericardial bulb and branching blood vessels. The green reticulate pattern, is the finely ramifying ducts of the digestive gland filled with plant tissue, probably chloroplasts. Guam, Agat, Ga'an Point, reef flat; 3 April 1989 on Bryopsis pennata
LOWER: Variety showing red spots on interior of parapodia as described by Pease. About 30mm long; Guam, Pago Bay, reef flat; 1 April 1971 on Caulerpa racemosa.
The first time we found E. rufescens it was on
You are going to owe me a couple of litres of martinis if I ever make it to Sydney.
Clay.
