» If you find this species has been misidentified, please let us know
Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: An unusual individual that has brown digestive diverticula inside the cerata rather than the usual pink-purple diverticula. Presumably it has been feeding on a different species of hydroid than the ‘normal’ one, so this would account for this difference in colour.
