Hi Bill,

Here are some better images of Tochuina tetraquetra (which don't have a fish superimposed over the top!)

We saw lots of them in British Columbia, Canada, September 2000. They were especially plentiful in the Port Hardy region (North end of the island). Depth ranged from 30-80 feet and all of the ones I saw were quite large; 150-200mm.

Thanks Clinton,
Since I thought I had better identify the reddish animal alongside your photo of Anisodoris lentiginosa before it got entangled in the sea lemon debate, your photo of Tochuina was better than none. But I much prefer your replacements.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
