Bill,
This shows what can be done if one can teach their pet Thuridilla bayeri to 'roll over'.

Dear Clay,

I'll have to start calling you the 'slug whisperer'. As we have discussed before I have difficulty in knowing where T. bayeri ends and T. gracilis begins so I have kept them together under the older name. Hopefully more photos like this, and your earlier ones showing open parapodia [message #3077], may prove helpful. But I must say I find sorting  T. bayeri, T. gracilis and T. splendens from one another a bit of a struggle.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
