Sea slug species from Turkey

November 26, 2007
From: Tom Turk


Dear Bill,

I am sending you several photos of five sea slug species photographed along the coast of Turkey near the town of Kas. I believe that at least three species are actually Indopacific (lessepsian immigrants) in the Mediterranean Sea. I have tentatively identified three of them, for the other two I have no idea. I appreciate your help in this matter.

Locality: Kas, 25 m, Turkey, Mediterranean, end of October 2007, rocky bottom near or on Caulerpa. Length: 5-10 cm. Photographer: Borut Furlan

Best regards,
Tom Turk

Dear Tom,

This is the same species that Baki Yokes reported a few years ago from Turkey [message #6935 ]. It can only be the Indo-West Pacific species Oxynoe viridis

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
