Ancula gibbosa white-spotted version
May 28, 2000
From: Marli Wakeling
Hi,
I too have just found the white-spotted version of this animal, near Vancouver, B.C., in Canada. It was found with uncoloured specimens at 40 feet near bryzoans, laying eggs in a thin, small oval. Size was 0.5 cm. I also found the uncoloured ones several hundred miles north, at Egmont, B.C. Donna Gibbs has sent specimens for evaluation to Dave Behrens. Has anyone actually dissected one of these to determine it is the same species, as the colouration (at least of the spotted one is so different)?
Regards,

Welcome to the Forum. I am sure if anyone has had a look at their anatomy they will let us know.
Best wishes,
