From: Colin Redfern

Dear Bill,
Here are photos of two 4mm specimens of Cuthona barbadiana from Abaco, Bahamas. Both were on Sargassum attached to the substrate in 1m. The animal with white dorsal markings [upper right, lower left] is from Scotland Cay, August 8, 1998, and the animal with blue-tinted markings [lower right] is from Thurstone Bay, August 10, 2000.
