Hi Bill,
Another confusing nudibranch from British Columbia, it appears. I thought that I would send some further detail about both this animal and Cuthona punicia. They are from the same area, but my first posting about Cuthona columbiana was from a very different locale, where there were no purple hydroids present. Thse animals were found only on and around Tubularia crocea, eating their stalks. The Cuthona punicea were only found on the polyps of the undescribed purple hydroids, and tended to be deeper.
Hope that sheds some light!
Regards,
Marli Wakeling
