Triopha catalinae from British Columbia

June 4, 2000
From: Marli Wakeling

Dear Bill,
Here is a photo of Triopha catalinae.

These "clown nudibranchs" are very common on Vancouver Island, where they are found eating bryozoans and hydroids. I found one involved with a shrimp, cleaning its gills; the only time I have seen a commensal behaviour in B.C. [British Columbia, Canada].

Best wishes,
