Hello Bill,

The only Aplysia found on the shores of mainland Britain is Aplysia punctata. The occurrence of A. depilans, even a dead one, (see report) is a notable discovery.

Cheers

Andy Horton.

Thanks Andy,
I wasn't trying to belittle your record, I just wanted to clarify that the photo was of a dead, somewhat swollen, animal, so that Sea Hare 'novices' wouldn't mistakenly think that this was what Aplysia depilans looked like alive.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman.
