Glossodoris sedna from Belize

Hi Bill,

Just got back from Belize where I saw my first Caribbean nudibranch. Hope this adds a piece to the Atlantic range puzzle for the species.

Locality: San Pedro, 10m, Ambergris Caye, Belize, Atlantic Ocean, 28 September 2007, coral reef. Length: 3 cm. Photographer: Robert Lee.

Thanks Rob,

Every little bit of information helps. I see Caribbean Sea Slugs records it from Belize, so your record and others on the Forum from Honduras and the Turks and Caicos Ids certainly suggests a very wide distribution in the eastern Caribbean. Perhaps G. sedna will turn out to be one of the species with a natural distribution on both sides of the Panama Isthmus rather than a recent introduction into the Caribbean from the east Pacific.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
