Phyllidiopsis krempfi from Japan

December 16, 1999
From: Yasuhiro Shirai


Dear Bill,
Thank you for your quick reply every time.

This time, I have attached 2 files. For a long time I thought this animal was Phyllidiella pustulosa but I realized that this animal's rhinophores is different from P. pustulosa's one.

Could you please tell me its name.

Data:
Location:around the coral reef at Kusimoto (Japan) Length: 30mm. Water temperature: 26.5C. September 1999. Depth: 16.5m. Found crawling on seaweed.

Best regards,
Yasuhiro Shirai

Dear Yasuhiro,
I am pretty sure that this is Phyllidiopsis krempfi. If you have a look at some of the other messages below yours on this page you will see other close-up pictures of the very characteristic rhinophores. I thnk this is the first time it has been reported from Japan.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
