Re: Colour in Elysia (again)

Note added 30 May 2006: This is Elysia clarki, a new species which was previously considered a colour form of E. crispata
Dear Bill,
In reading Skip's message regarding color in Elysia [#15154], here are some photos of Elysia crispata taken in the Florida Keys this summer that show the orange band on the edge of the parapodia very well. (These were found in the mangrove roots in a canal and moved to the sand for a better photo.)
Locality: Long Key, (Florida Keys, East coast), Florida, USA. Depth: 5 feet. in Mangrove Canal. Length: Approximately 45 mm in length. 2 June 2005. Photographer: Anne DuPont
Cordially,
Anne

Dear Anne,
Thanks for these photos. I think this is part of the puzzle in an earlier message from Skip Pierce [#12896]. I understand there is a paper due to be published soon.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
