Acanthodoris rhodoceras from California

From: Kevin Lee


Hi Doc,
Found a first (for me), the diminutive Acanthodoris rhodoceras. Also, used a ruler to show the size. In the future, will use the other side of the rule i.e. metric, instead of imperial standard, to make it easier for you scientists.

Locality: La Jolla Shores Canyon, near North Wall, 60 ft, California, USA, Eastern Pacific, 21 July 2006, Sandy bottom. Length: 0.5 inch. Photographer: Kevin Lee.

All best.

Dear Kevin,
Thanks for these nice photos. Thanks also for thinking of us in terms of measurement. Its not just scientists that use metric, but most of the rest of the world. I find it slightly ironic that more than 200 years after winning a war of independence against the British crown, the USA still uses an 'imperial standard' of measurement.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
