Tritonia diomedea from California
July 22, 2004
From: Steve Johnston
I'm interested to know if anyone recognizes this pink slug. It was collected in Monterey Bay [California] at about 200 feet depth on a sandy bottom. It came up attached to some other items we were collecting. It's about 3 inches long, and the color in the photo is true. It's in a display dish with Anisodoris nobilis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is Tritonia diomedea. The white edging to the oral veil, mantle, rhinophore pockets and foot are very charcteristic.
Best wishes
