Hi Bill,
Here are pictures showing the acid glands, which form a stellate [starlike] pattern on the mantle, and spawn coil of Geitodoris planata to accompany my other photos. The spawn coil has a more fluted edge than that of Archidoris pseudoargus.
UPPER & LOWER RIGHT: Showing starlike (stellate) pattern of mantle glands - Rathlin O'Birne Is., Co Donegal, Ireland - April 1982.
LOWER LEFT: Spawn coil - Garland Stone, Skomer, Wales - June 1989
