Goniodoris nodosa from Plymouth, England

August 8, 2006
From: Judith Oakley

Please could you help me identify this white sea slug found on kelp on marina pontoon. Could it be Goniodoris nodosa as there was plenty of Diplosoma sp. around for it to feed on.

Locality: Queen Anne's Battery, Plymouth, UK, 01 August 2006, on Laminaria saccharina on marina pontoon. Length: 4 mm. Photographer: Judith Oakley.

Thanks

Dear Judith,
Even though it hasn't quite got its adult shape, the wide flattened oral tentacles and the milky yellow blotches and markings are typical of this species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
