Hi Bill.

I noticed that you only have one image of Acanthodoris lutea on the site. Here's a specimen that we found off of Palos Verdes Peninsula, near Los Angeles.

Locality: Palos Verdes Peninsula (near Los Angeles), California, USA. Depth: 20 meters. Length: 10 mm. 19 July 2004. On a ship wreck, rocky bottom. Photographer: Jim Lyle

Best wishes,
