Dear Bill,
Since you have asked for a photo of Haminoea virescens, here is a picture for you.

Mismaloya, Bahia de Banderas, Pacific Coast of Mexico. 13 January 2003, 20 feet deep, 5 mm long.

I hope it is useful

Thanks Ali,
I hate to be hesitant in accepting your gift, but I would be grateful for some guidance on whether it is H. virescens or H. vesicula. I have never seen either species, but from what I can gather from previous messages and various books, H. virescens has a greener animal and mantle than this. Perhaps its just because their juveniles. Any guidance will be very welcome
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
