Platydoris argo with damaged mantle
September 8, 2008
From: Dominique Horst
Hi Bill,
This nice Platydoris argo was probably bitten by a predator.
The cut is large, but not I am not sure that any vital organ was damaged?
Locality: Cagnes, 6 m, France, Mediterranean sea, 27 August 2008, muddy. Length: 60 mm. Photographer: Dominique Horst.
Kind regards,
Dom.

It doesn't look as though anything vital was damaged - just the mantle 'skirt' which I guess will grow again. It gives us a good view of the head and tentacles which are usually hidden by the mantle skirt.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
