Concerning message #22148:
Hi Bill,
Regarding Pleurobranchus caledonicus, I don't think the dark spot is a hole in the skin. I've been trying to find another specimen for a while for someone who wanted to examine it, but without success. I will take another look at the next one I find. But my notes on one of my earlier specimens says it is a "single oval, slightly depressed, dark brown spot."

It will be interesting to find out if it is really a 'hole' reminiscent of the foramen found in some sea hares [see Aplysioidea mantle cavity] or a dark pigment spot.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
