Berthella martensi - pics and food info

May 1, 1999
From: Bob Bolland

Hi Bill:

In re the recent thread on Berthella martensi I thought I'd post a few images of some of the Okinawan material showing some of the color variations, as well as one of the animals found on its sponge host.

001: Notum 58mm / from 41m
003: Notum 24mm / from 30m
005: Notum 25mm & 31mm / from 20m
006: Photo only, animal not measured / from 3m (Found feeding on the sponge, as pictured)
007: Photo only, animal not measured / from 8m

Cheers,
Bob

Dear Bob,
Thanks very much for the pictures. That solves my lack of pictures and Photo 3  solves Erwin Koehler's mystery black pleurobranch with yellowish pustules.
