Dear Bill,
Thanks for your earlier comments. Here is a photo of A. juliana from Chejudo, Korea, photographed by Dr. Koh. I hope you can use it.

Thanks Ron,
This is the same colour pattern that is illustrated in Okutani, [Marine Mollusks in Japan, 2000] from Japan. A. juliana is a widespread species and ranges in colour from black to brown with pale mottlings. I have never seen this pale whitish colour pattern with a few darker brown patches before. It will be interesting to see in your study just how variable this colour form is.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
