Dear Bill,
About the Cadlina from New England. Our common White Sea C. laevis are completely milk white, only with irregularly placed scanty lemon- yellow spots along the mantle border. Never green. Perhaps the specimens studied by Paul Young eat green sponges? Ours - invariably white.
Best regards.

I wouldn't actually describe Paul's Cadlina as green, it seems to be basically a translucent colour, lacking in pigment except for the opaque yellowish tubercles.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
