From: Jim Anderson


Dear Bill,

Attached are images from Scotland of Cuthona pustulata. ID confirmed for me by Dr. Bernard Picton. Water temperature 10 deg C.

Locality: Kentallen Reef, Loch Linnhe, Scotland [Sea Loch on west coast of Scotland]. Depth: 13 metres. Length: 12mm approx. 29 May 2005. Rocky reef. Photographer: Jim Anderson

This is another 'new species' for me and has been added to my Scottish Nudibranch web site: scottishnudibranchs.co.uk/

Kind regards,
Jim A

Dear Jim,
Thanks for this. Since this species was described from the British Isles, it is good to get a specimen from that side of the Atlantic on the Forum to complement the one from Nth America. The yellowish ceratal digestive gland seems to be the common colour form on your side of the Atlantic.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
