Facelina auriculata from Scotland

August 31, 2001
From: Jim Anderson


Dear Dr. Rudman,
These two animals were photographed on the same dive on 19 August 2001 at Godag reef off the island of Muck in the Inner Hebrides here in Scotland. The water temperature was 13 deg C.

UPPER PHOTO: found at the base of the kelp at 10 metres
LOWER PHOTO with tiny Polycera quadrilineata on a kelp blade at 6 metres.

Kind regards,
Jim Anderson

Thanks Jim,
With other recent finds, and Bernard Picton's comments, I am getting a much better idea of the colour variation found in this species.
