Spurilla australis

December 24, 1999
From: Michael Phan

Hi there Dr Rudman,
I am Michael who gave you a message before about the Berghia verrucicornis, and I am still waiting for something to pop up in Australia to tell me that the species of Nudibranch is here.
I won't try the Spurilla australis in my tank because you say that it munches on the anenome and I do not want to try it on my tank because it has an anenome.

But I will try to get a separate tank and see what kind of anenome wil it munch on.. i wil not sacrifice my anenome for a nudibranch that i have not tried before. But all is in for science i guess and i love the marine like al of the peoples that have left message on your site and the only thing is that most of those peoples have access to the Nudibranch that i needed for my research but if the Spurilla australis is the next one that is on my list then i wll go for it..
I will kepp on searching for the Notorious Berghia verrucicornis for the good of all scientist in Australia.

Michael

Dear Michael,
You will see that we have had a lot of correspondence about Berghia verrucicornis since you wrote. There is almost no possibility of you finding that species in Australia as it is normally found in the Atlantic. Even though on a map the sea seems to be continuous, there are quite distinct geographic with their only special animals and plants, much like on the land. The only way Berghia verrucicornis could be found in Australia is if someone irresponsibly released it.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
