Hello Bill,
I can only imagine the work associated with running such far reaching project as Slug Forum is. I am still so amazed by the brilliant way to share information about slugs and encompass all levels of expertise (or the lack of). Of course, if you like to post the artwork on the Forum, I will be honored. So again, wish you good health and keep up the great work.
Melibe leonina was still plentiful in December here, so enclosed are some more photos.

Kocian, J., 2006 (Jan 19) More photos of Melibe leonina. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15431Dear Jan,
This message missed the Christmas rush - but better late than never. As you will see I've pulled out some of your earlier artwork. It deserves a wider audience than me.
Concerning the Melibe photos. I know in words that this species occurs in large numbers but your photo above really shows how dangerous it is to be a little planktonic animal - and even a crawling one - when Melibe leonina is in abundance.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
