Hi Bill,
Here is a photo of Berthella californica from our trip to San Miguel Island over the weekend [July 2004] with the SDUPS. Water clarity was poor, but the place was loaded as always with branchs.
Regards

Thanks Bruce,
It's good to see the colour variability - or at least the variability in the distribution of the white spots (which are almost certainly defensive glands) on the mantle - in this species.
Best wishes
