Left: DLG AAB 01g. 21.5 mm. Indonesia. Bali, Sanur Beach.
Right: DLG AAB 01p. 38 mm. This specimens stems out of an aquaculture
facility and shows the very untypical, concentric banding pattern. The
pattern develops because of the change in feed used in the aquaculture
facility. Such color anomalies are not known from free living specimens
of this species, but have been observed in other (California) species
(Olson, 1968 a&b).
