Hi Bill,
I found many large Acanthodoris nanaimoensis while on my Campbell River excursion. Many were mating, and some were much larger than the size range in my guidebook.
Locality: Steep Island, Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. Pacific coast. Depth: 40 feet. Length: 35 mm. 08 October 2005. Rocky wall. Photographer: Marli Wakeling
Cheers,
Marli

Thanks for the photo. I hadn't realised until I saw your photo close up just how long and plentiful the dorsal papillae are. Size ranges are only as good as the available information. I'll change the Fact Sheet to 35 mm.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
