Dondice banyulensis from Marseille, France

July 26, 2006
From: Nadine Neels

I would like to know which kind of "seaslug" we have seen in June in Marseille (France). In the different books we have, we can't find anything similar. If you could help us to determine what it is we would be grateful.

Locality: Marseille, 15 metres, France, Mediterranean Sea, 23 June 2006, Clear. Length: 5 cm. Photographer: Nadine Neels

Thanks.

Dear Nadine,
This is Dondice banyulensis. It is quite variable in colour so it is possible the photos you have seen in books were of different colour forms. Have a look at the message attached to the Fact Sheet for photos of the various colour variations.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
