Dear Jun,
Thanks for these photos. It seems from these photos that there is at least one large whitish gland at the parapodial edge. In an earlier message Kathe Jensen mentioned she couldn't see large glands, which were characteristic of Elysia flavomacula in Koh's photos from Sth Korea. I have included a close-up alongside to show the characteristic filaments which extend from its food plant, Codium, and its relatives, to give the plant a furry appearance under water.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
