Doto amyra from California

March 23, 2004
From: Sean Kearney

Dear Bill..
I must first apologize for the poor quality of these pictures. These critters were so small that I could not get a decent photo u/w, so I brought them to the surface to try to I.D. them. All were found in 65fsw off of Pt. Loma, San Diego, California. [March 2004]. I noticed the red markings of the Doto amyra, and then saw the lines on the Flabellina? Cuthona?. The Dendronotus? was also in the hydroids nearby.

The Doto kya and the Doto amyra were willing subjects once I got them still and got light on them.

I have sent the the Flabellina? Cuthona? and Dendronotus? 12495 in separate messages.
As always, thanks very much,
Sean Kearney

Thanks Sean,
Its nice to get a photo of the pink-red form of Doto amyra. I included your photo of Doto kya alongside. I'm not that familiar with the Californian fauna so I can only tentatively agree with your identification as the photo's a bit fuzzy. These small animals are a bit hard to photograph
Best wishes
Bill
