Eubranchus sanjuanensis from British Columbia

June 12, 2000
From: Marli Wakeling

Dear Bill,

This tiny creature is usually known for its red cerata, and locale of the San Juan Islands in the State of Washington.  Here, however, it is a light peach in colouration, and very common in the spring.  Averaging about 4 to 6 mm. in length, it can be found eating and laying eggs on hydroids.
Regards,

Dear Marli,
Thanks for the photo. It is certainly a more subtle colour than the bright red digestive gland of the animal illustrated in Dave Behrens' Pacific Coast Nudibranchs.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
