Hermissenda crassicornis from California

July 15, 2000
From: Bruce Wight


Dear Bill,

Regarding the March discussion, on Hermissenda crassicornis, I have seen many of them together and have never seen them acting aggressively towards each other. I have attached two photos of a couple of beautifully translucent ones I photographed in June of this year at San Clemente Island, California. There is one local aeolid however, that is very aggressive towards others of its own kind, and that is
Phidiana hiltoni (formerly Phidiana pugnax), which I have sent a message about separately.

Take care,
Bruce Wight
