Hi Bill.
Looking through Forum messages about Tritonia diomedea, I notice that the one I encountered last May here on Whidbey is of darker red color. I thought I share this.
Locality: artificial reef, 30 feet, Washington USA, Puget Sound, NE Pacific Ocean, 12 May 2005, sand. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Jan Kocian.

Dear Jan,
These big animals must be a sight crawling across the sand. Do you find them out during the day or only the night? I assume the sea pens they feed on only emerge at night or on very dull days.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
