Dear Bill,
Re: the discussion about Aeolidiella alba and its movements. It is one of the more common diurnally active aeolids in Hawaii. In my experience, it almost always contracts its cerata rhythmically while crawling both in dishes and in the field. It's just speculation, of course, but I've always wondered if there might be an element of mimicry involved. At least to a human eye, its form, size, chalky-white coloration and rhythmic movement make it resemble a deteriorating sprig of Neomeris waving in the surge.
Best wishes,
Cory
