Dear Dr.Rudman,
It's very good for me to know me about the relation between feeding cycle and body color. Here is a better photo to see the inner surface.
Best Regards,

Nishina, M., 2001 (Jul 26) Another photo of Elysia obtusa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4920Dear Nishina,
Thanks again. I guess you have seen the page on colour in sea slugs which discusses some of the functions colour has in these animals. For example, the cerata of many aeolids changes colour depending on the colour of the food they are eating - a very good example being the egg-eating species of the genus Favorinus.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
