Mating Pleurobranchaea californica

From: Kevin Lee
Thought I'd contribute a pair of mating Pleurobranchaea californica. What I thought were some worms, next to each, are, perhaps the gills?
Locality: Canyon Main Wall, La Jolla Shores, approx. 65 feet, California, Eastern Pacific, 06 November 2005, Sandy bottom. Length: approx. 1.5 inches. Photographer: Kevin Lee.
