Concerning message #19353:
Hi Bill,
Jim sent me a link to this page and suggested I send in some more photos. Not all of these images show the branch feeding, but they do show the complexity of the undercarriage and may help you see what's involved in feeding.
Locality: Redondo Beach, 80 feet, CA, Pacific Ocean, Various dates., Rocky reef, kelp forest, steel wreck. Length: 3 inches. Photographer: Roger Carlson.

Dear Roger,
Thanks for these photos. I have labelled some of the major parts including the genital opening [g.o.], mouth [mo] anf the strange secondary tentacles [x] I commented on in Jim's message. I guess they are part of the foot, but I have never seen anterior foot corners separated from the foot like this and so obviously involved with handling the food.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
