Concerning message #10480:

Hi Bill,
I think this is Crimora papillata. The colour is strong orange and the length 15 mm was more than I've ever seen before.

Locality: Antibes, 2 m, France, Mediterranean sea, 22 March 2009. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Dominique Horst.

Best regards,
Dominique

Dear Dom,

It is certainly a deeper orange colour than other examples on the Forum. Perhaps someone with local knowledge could give us some background information on colour range in this species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
