Cerberilla from Hong Kong

From: Bernard Picton

Hi Bill,
I wonder if the attached picture is Cerberilla incola? The animal was collected by John Taylor (Natural History Museum, London) during the Hong Kong workshop in April 1983. It was dredged from a sandy bottom at Tap Mun, Long Harbour at about 20 metres depth [BEPHK248]. I described the cerata at the time as grey with a white streak and it has a black 'moustache' which is different to the picture on the Forum. Blue iridescence on the pericardium and front of the head doesn't show in this picture.

Dear Bernard,
It certainly has similarities in colour to C. incola but the radular morphology of the specimens I have looked at are rather different.
