Dear Bill,

Hi. Here are two color drawings of Elysia viridis to demonstrate the past discussion on this species. The light green one is from Michael Miller's PhD thesis (1958); the slug was associated with Cladophora rupestris on the Isle of Man. The dark green one is from Meyer & Mobius (1865); I have not translated their paper yet but would hypothesize that the slug was eating Codium.

Reference: Miller, M.C. (1958) Studies on the nudibranchiate Mollusca of the Isle of Man. Ph.D. Thesis, University of Liverpool.

Thanks!

Cynthia
