Dear Bill.
To accompany my message about Siphopteron flavum mating, here is a photo of an animal with the yellow colour form. Both the yellow and the orange are found together.
I am happy if these reports are useful for your research.
Futou, Izu Peninsula, Suruga bay, Japan.
size about: 4mm., Depth: 2m. 3 May 2003.
Best Regards,

Imamoto, J., 2003 (May 10) Siphopteron flavum - colour variation. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9895Thanks Jun,
The animals in your mating photos seem to show a nice variation betwen the yellow and orange forms. One has a quite yellow head shield but orange parapodia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
