Concerning message #20446:

Hi Doc,

Thanks for your interesting comments in message #20446. Coincidentally, as you suggested, I did prod the "flared" Navanax and photographed it (attached), and found that it indeed appeared "all there".

Locality: La Jolla, 65 fsw, California, USA, Eastern Pacific, 27 July 2007, Sandy bottom. Length: 7 cm. Photographer: Kevin Lee.

Dear Kevin,
Thanks for you quick response. I'm glad you did a little 'hands on' investigation, but unfortunately it doesn't help me at all. This photo is a view of Navanax upside down, so the foot is hiding the very region I think may be damaged. I have checked your original photos again and still am having trouble interpreting what I am seeing. I have looked at and dissected a lot of aglajids, including Navanax, and something seems to be missing. If anyone else has opinions? ideas? solutions? I would love to hear them

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
