From: Ching-Yao Chan
Dear Bill,
When I first saw this small animal I didi not notice the rhinophores, but when I looked more carefully I noticed their strange Y-shape.
Locality: Kenting, 8 metres, Taiwan, 23 June 2006. Length: 10 mm. Photographer: Ching-Yao Chan.
I particulalry wanted to share the photos with you.
Best wishes,
C.Y.Chan

Thanks for these photos. It is a strange abnormality. I wonder if it is twice as efficient at smelling its food?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
