Hi Bill,

Some poking around on Mike Miller's site allowed me to identify the slug mentioned in my previous message. It is Doriopsilla spaldingi - a deep water critter previously described from San Diego. It's at: http://siolibrary.ucsd.edu/slugsite/nudwk134.htm

Pretty no?

Dear Clinton,
Thanks for answering your own question. Looking at Mike's photo, D. spaldingi is indeed a spectacular animal.

Reference: Valdes, A. & Behrens, D.W. (1998) A new species of Doriopsilla (Mollusca, Nudibranchia, Dendrodorididae) from the Pacific Coast of North America. Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, 50(13): 307-314.


Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
