Hi Bill

While at at the oil Rigs off San Pedro, California, USA for the first time in April 2004 I came across this Diaulula sandiegensis crawling over brittle stars.

Take care,

Thanks Bruce,

This Diaulula wasn't going to let the brittle stars interrupt its travels. I've included a couple of close-ups to show the bristles [caryophyllidia] which cover the mantle.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
