From: Marli Wakeling
Dear Bill,
Here is a photo of Janolus fuscus. It is very common in the spring. These animals range from 1 to over 10 cm. in length. They have lamellate rhinophores and a comb like sensory appendage between their rhinophores. This specimen was found on Eastbourne Wall, on Keats Island, British Columbia, Canada. Depth about 60 feet. This specimen was about 5 cm. in length They react to divers by swelling their cerata.
Hope these photos will be of help.

Thanks again. I don't think I have ever seen a photo of this species before. Your 'common' species may be boring to you but to the rest of the world they are very interesting. I very much look forward to some more of your wonderful photos.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
