In this view the dark spots which are in rows along the lobes in line with the ctene rows can be clearly seen.

This side view of a 1.4 cm diameter individual captured near Coffin Rocks (2014) shows the mouth (pointing toward top right) with the ciliated bands near it.

Another side view of the same 1.4 cm individual clearly shows the lobes and the mouth, along with the fact that the ctene rows are of different length and only run about 2/3 down the body.
