Glossodoris sedna from Galapagos Ids

From: Julianne Parolisi


Hi again Bill, and happy new year!
Thank you for your response to my message about Glossodoris dalli. You mentioned that you'd love to see more photos from the Galapagos, so here are some I happen to have of Glossodoris sedna and in a separate message one of the endemic Tambja mullineri.  Unfortunately I don't have any of feeding or mating behaviours though.

Locality: Isabela Island, Galapagos Ids, Ecuador, east Pacific Ocean
Depth: ~3 meters. Length: ~ 1 inch. 4 December 2004. Photographer: Julianne Parolisi

Finding your website has sent me on a sea slug frenzy and I've been doing lots of research-- I had no idea there was such a slug "scene" out there! I would love to get more involved, whether in research or photography, or anything else (if you have any ideas on where to start, please let me know!). I find these creatures absolutely amazing and am dying to find out everything I can about them :)
Wishing you lots of beautiful nudibranchs for 2005,
Julianne

Dear Julianne,
Thanks for these photos of G. sedna. It would certainly be nice to see photos of this on its food sponge, which we don't know, and photos of its egg ribbon. I certainly look forward to hearing about more of your discoveries
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
