Dear Nishina,
Thanks very much. Your photos show the strange rhinophores with the common basal stalk very clearly. In Terry Gosliner's message he discussed the need to know how much variation there was between animals from different parts of the world. It appears that the colour pattern of the Japanese population shows very little variation.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
