Thanks Les,
This colour range from pale yellow to reddish oranage is found in other species of the genus as well. It would be interesting to know if it is diet related. The animal we call B. citrina in the south west Pacific is usually almost colourless as a juvenile picking up the yellow and orange colour as it grows.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
