Acanthodoris hudsoni? from California

June 5, 2003
From: Jim Lyle

I'm a newbie to this site. Hopefully, when I send this, the picture will be attached. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I have tentatively identified this dorid as Acanthodoris hudsoni based on comparison to pictures in Dave Behrens' book and on this web site.

It was found on the wreck of the Avalon, off Palos Verdes Point, California in 78 feet of water.

Dear Jim,
Welcome to the Forum. Acanthodoris hudsoni is described as having yellow tips to the papillae and a yellow mantle border. I guess this animal is a variation without the yellow but I would be grateful for some comments from local experts as the only other photo I have on the Forum of this species also lacks the yellow.
Best wishes
