Concerning message #21056:

I think this is another example of how the colour of the ingested materials in the digestive glands is visible through the skin of the cerata.

Locality: Caesaria, 20-24 meters, Israel, Mediterranean, 10/07/2008, deep reef. Length: 3 cm. Photographer: Dr. Dani Barchana.

Thanks Dani,

Cratena peregrina shows quite a range of variation in ceratal colour so it would be interesting to know what it is feeding on when it has its very dark colour form [message #21220].

Best wishes,
