From: Erwin Koehler

Dear Bill,
This one is from Canada, Vancouver, divesite "Flemming Bay", August 12, 1997, size about 3 cm and depth 12 m. I think it is Acanthodoris hudsoni MacFarland, 1905

It was taken by Frank Gloystein. His email address is: frank@gloystein.de

Dear Erwin,
Certainly looks like it could be A. hudsoni but it is described as haiving yellow tipped, gills, rhinophores and papillae and a yellow band around the mantle edge. I guess it depends whether the colour is not showing up very well in Frank's photo. Let's see what the experts think.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
