Tritonia hamnerorum from West Indies

G'Day, Bill.
While diving on Little Cayman, British West Indies (Caribbean Sea) in May 2007, I saw what I think is a Tritonia hamnerorum on a gorgonian at a depth of about 10-12 meters. Not a very good photo, but recognizable. During the time we were on Little Cayman, we saw a number of these.

Chambers, J., 2007 (Jun 22) Tritonia hamnerorum from West Indies. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20036Thanks Jim,
It would be interesting to know if you have ever seen one with the reddish pigmentation seen in Stephane Ores' photos [#19577]. From the photos on the Forum it seems as though this species feeds on a number of gorgonians - or else one gorgonian has a number of different life forms.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
