Laila cockerelli - 3rd colour form

December 18, 2000
From: Marli Wakeling

Dear Bill
I found this Laila cockerelli near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 50 feet, in December, 2000. The red blotches are different from the other varieties. It is apparently only been found on one reef in California, and may possibly be a distinct species. It is approxiamately 8 mm in length. The dive site is called Bowyer Island, in Howe Sound.
