Hi Bill,

This is another new one for me. I gather it's called Ancula gibbosa now. This is the "A. pacifica" color variation.

Locality: Point Lobos State Reserve, 12 meters, CA, USA, Pacific, 22 May 2007, Rocky Reef. Length: 20mm. Photographer: Clinton Bauder.

Hi Clinton,

Yes, you are correct. I am amazed at the variablity in coloration of his species. Your critter is what I have called "A. pacifica" for years.

Thanks for sharing this one,
Dave Behrens
