Note added 30 May 2006: This also refers to Elysia clarki, a new species which was previously considered a colour form of E. crispata

Hi Bill-
Glad you're back in cyberspace. Happy New Year. Just to show you we've been working while you were off line, have a look at the attached photo. Same species or not, do you suppose (I've already been in contact with Kathe Jensen)?? Actually, I think we know the answer and are writing a paper, but I thought you might like to see the picture. Once I'm sure of the data (couple more weeks) I'll tell you what the answer turned out to be.
