From: Dominique Horst


Hi Bill,

I found this Elysia at the same place where I left it yesterday ... [see message #20998 ]

Locality: Antibes Cape, 7 m, France, Mediterranean sea, 21 October 2007. Length: 8 mm. Photographer: Dominique Horst.

With more time, shots are better. Details on the digestive system are visible.

Many thanks and kind regards,
Dominique

Thanks Dom,

Obviously it was not so 'timid' this time. These nice photos show details of the head and the branching of the digestive gland very clearly. The two whitish lines are the main branches of the pattern of branching blood vessels which can be seen on the inside of the parapodia.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
