Ancula gibbosa from New England

Bill -
I noticed that you did not have a photo of Ancula gibbosa from New England. I have been searching for it for a couple years now and finally encountered a couple just this past week. The one pictured was only about one-half inch long. It was relatively close to shore in only 12 feet of water. On the same dive I encountered one other specimen that was even smaller. I'm hoping to capture more photos of what seems to be an elusive nudibranch here in New England.

Shepard, A., 2002 (Mar 20) Ancula gibbosa from New England. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6458Thanks Alan,
It would certainly be interesting to know how much colour variation is present on the wast coast of North America. And for that matter any information on its food, egg mass etc would be of great interest.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman,
