Dear Brian,

Thanks for these photos. We know little about colour variability in this species so your photos add a lot. For example Gosliner's description of the rhinophores notes that above the white there are bands of blue, black, orange-yellow and black. In the photos we already have on the Forum this detail is either absent in the specimens or missing in the photos. In your photos the colour bands are clearly visible.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
