The white-ringed gonopore on the right side, and the anal papilla (light colored, to the right of the gonopore and benind and below the right rhinophore) can be seen in this photo. Photo by Dave Cowles, August 2005
The rhinophores (left shown here) have a series of projections on the posterior side. The clavus is perfoliate, retractable, and projects from an anterior shelf. It has a crownlike ring of projections around it. Photo by Dave Cowles, August 2005
