Hello Bill,
Me again. Hope I have not over stayed my welcome here. I have here yet another one from our recent trip to Port Hardy. I believe it is a Cuthona concinna. Do you concur? They are feeding on the Hydractinia milleri hydroid.
Date = Sept 2, 2003
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
September 1rst and Sept 3rd, 2003.

Sim, P., 2003 (Oct 21) Cuthona divae from British Columbia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11236Dear Paul,
Be assured that no one out stays their welcome on the Forum. Unfortunately I sometimes take a lot longer providing answers than I should.
I think the clue to this ones identity is its food - Hydractinia. I am pretty sure this is Cuthona divae which is known to feed on Hydractinia.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
