Bill:
I totally agree with your comment on the dark marked body. This specimen's body is so heavily marked the body is almost totally black. If not D. columbiana, it is new.
Best regards,
Dave

Thanks Dave,
I didn't realise the black was body! - I thought it was a deep shadow in the photos. Considering the great species diversity in the genus that our North Atlantic colleagues have discovered I would feel more comfortable leaving this as Doto cf. columbiana until someone compares the anatomy of this and more 'typical' specimens. Perhaps Marli can help us with some background information.
Have you find 'typically coloured' D. columbiana Marli? and if so, is it on the same hydroid as the pink animal, and do you find both colour forms together?
Very interesting,
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
