Hi Bill,
Here are some photos of a specimen of Armina californica found off California's Channel Islands in 1987. It was on dark sand at a depth of about 12 meters.

Thanks Scott,
I am sure Natasha will be pleased. I have also found the reference I mentioned to her about Renilla 'flashing' while being eaten by Armina californica.
