Re Mystery aeolid from California

October 22, 2002
From: Orso Angulo

Hi Bill,
Regarding the mysterious aeolid found in California by Sean Kearny, Its most likely that it is Aeolidiella chromosoma. It agres in the coloration of the rhinophores, number of lamellae and the very light spots in the ceras as well the form of them. This species has a quite large range in color variations, going from very light coloration (as the photo) through bright orange.
Hope it helps.

Dear Orso,
Thanks very much for your suggestion. It would be interesting to see some photos of colour variation in California and Mexico as most of the photos on the Forum are from the NW Pacific - Japan, China
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
