Pleurobranchus mamillatus? from Japan

May 22, 2003
From: Yoshinori Fukuyo

Dear Bill,
This creature encountered at the 15 meter water depth of the Tsuruga Bay coast in Japan. The size is about 10 centimeters.

I photographed it on March 22nd, 2003. The water temperature is 17 degrees.

Is this a variation of Pleurobranchus mamillatus?

Yoshinori, Fukuyo
