Concerning message #6891:

This is a new one for me as we don't commonly see Acanthodoris pilosa near the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Please could you let me know if I indeed have the ID correct? I thought too that the photo may be of interest as the digestive tract seems quite visible.

Locality: Bear Cove, 70 feet, British Columbia, Canada, Pacific Ocean, 08 October 2007, Silt bottom. Length: 5 cm. Photographer: Jackie Hildering.

Hi Jackie and Glen,

Very nice find. Definitely uncommon. Our fellow Branchers in the Atlantic trip across it more often than we here.

Those long tapering, pointed dorsal papillae are a give away.

Best wishes,
Dave Behrens
