Thanks Gary,

I don't suppose I need to say it, but it would be great to find this species feeding. In Scott Johnson's message today [#22007] on Cadlinella subornatissima I discuss the mantle glands in both species. Your photo alongside shows the arrangemnt in C. ornatissima very well so I have included a closer view labelling the three gland types. In a  band right at the mantle edge are scattered small single glands [1]. Inside them there are aggregations of slightly larger single glands [2]; and further in are a row of very large compound glands [3] which can form a raised tubercle on the dorsal side but seem to open ventrally.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
