Concerning message #18900:

Lowell,
I found this cluster of Onchidoris bilamellata on a piling at Edmonds Oil Dock in the Sound. Note the pure white one in the middle. I asked around about it and was told that it's 99% certain it's the same species, just a color variant (albino?).

Locality: Edmonds Oil Dock, 12 ft, Washington, USA, Puget Sound, 17 July 2007, pilings in gravel bottom. Length: 1/2 inch. Photographer: Dave Washburn.

Thanks Dave,

Dave Behrens in his reply to that message said it was definitely what you might call an 'albino' form, so I guess that may be the case here.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
