Dear Bill..
On May 2nd of this year I was diving in San Diego, California and came across this little guy. I was at the end of the dive and just starting to ascend when it caught my eye. My strobe was off, my light was going low and I had to go up. I did recognize it as the animal on the back cover of Dave Behrens' book so I collected it. It is in a formalin solution and I am waiting to hear from Hans or Dave. I thought that you might like another shot of it.
Locality: Horsehead Reef, San Diego, California, USA.
Depth: 47 feet, Length: 12mm. 2 May 2004
