Here is a picture of Fryeria picta. The mantle skirt is lifted on the right side and I can see what I think are the gills - is this correct?

Locality: Tioman, 10 meters, Malaysia, South China Sea, 15 September 2007, rocky reef. Length: 2.5 inches. Photographer: Lisa Paggeot.

Dear Bruce,

Yes these are the gills. In phyllidiids there are a row of these gill 'flaps' along the underside of the mantle where it joins the sides of the body.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
