Flabellina salmonacea from Massachusetts, USA

From: Alan Shepard

Dear Dr. Rudmann -
Here's another recent photo I took while diving in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It is Flabellina salmonacea according to Dr. Larry Harris at the University of New Hampshire. It was in about 7m of water and measured about 33mm long.

Sincerely,
Alan Shepard

Thanks Alan,
Your animal looks almost identical to those in Paul Young's photos from New England. It's nice to have some consistent colour patterns now and then.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
