Hallo Bill

To accompany my earlier message, here are two photos showing details of the head and rhinophores of Tritonia hombergi. All photographs were taken at in Lough Carron, Scotland in the summers of 1996 and 1997.

Best regards

Thanks Peter,
It woud be interesting to know if the pale animal in your upper photo is a juvenile. I understand very small juveniles of this species are white. Is colour and size related in larger animals?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
