Hello Bill,
Do you think this animal is the Cuthona punicea? It does appear to be in the queue for dining on the purple hydroid Corymorpha sp along with some already seated copepods, as Sandra Millen outlined in earlier dialog.

Location = N.E. Pearse, Plumper Island Group, British Columbia, Canada
Terrain = wall
Depth = 60 feet
Temp = 50 degrees farenheit
Equip = Nikonos-V, 1:1, Fuji Superia

I'm glad to get one from you I feel confident about. I am sure your id is correct. The animal looks the right colour and shape and it's on the right hydroid.
