Dear Bill

While diving on Halfway Rock, between Gloucester and Boston we saw the smallest 'Salmon-Gills' [Flabellina salmonacea ] I have ever seen and a Cadlina which looks like the ones I have already sent you.

Locality: Halfway Rock, near Gloucester, 30 feet, Massachusetts, USA, Atlantic, 22 July 2007. Length: 1/2 inch. Photographer: Paul Young.

Dear Paul,

They are too small for me to identify from photos so I will take your word, as the 'local expert' on this species, for the identification

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
