Some of the large Doriopsilla I found at Cave Landing on this date had yellow gills, so I thought there was a good chance they might be the D. davebehrensi being worked on at the time by Craig Hoover and Angel Valdes. However, when they sequenced this and another similar-looking specimen from the same date, and both were determined to be D. albopunctata.

separate from daphnie as this mating pair have white gills compared to the usual red ones. There were many other daphnes in the river...noone has any pics with white gills.... and the fact that these 2 found each other seems distinct,
