Dear Bill.

I found this Gastropteron pacificum flapping its way through water column. Trying to capture the tiny slug as it busily moves around is a real challenge with a point & shoot camera with its shutter delay.

Locality: Holmes Harbor, Whidbey Island, 10 feet, Washington, USA, Eastern North Pacific, 22 October 2007, near Eel grass bed. Length: 12 mm. Photographer: Jan Kocian.
