Dear Bill,

Here are some photos of Flabellina iodinea for the Forum. They were taken at West Anacapa Island, Channel Islands National Park, California, in 8-10 m, 5 July 2001. The animals were approx 2-3 cm long.

Best wishes,
Daniel Geiger

Thanks Daniel,

I have oftened wondered why this animal was called the "Spanish Shawl", but your upper photo, of an animal with cerata hanging down, answers the question.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
