Elysia viridis from Crete Island, Greece

November 9, 2009
From: Marina Poddubetskaia Ossokine

Dear Bill,

Few weeks ago I snorkelled in Crete Island and I saw there some common Mediterranean sea slug species, but also this nice unidentified Elysia with only one rhinophore. If someone recognize this species, I would be happy to have a name for it.

Locality: "Alexander Beach", Malia, Crete Island, 2m, Greece, Mediterranean Sea, 19 April 2009. Length: 3mm. Photographer: Marina Poddubetskaia.

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,

Sorry this has taken a while to post. It is a juvenile Elysia viridis [see message #5944]. The blue spots seem to be proportionally much larger in juveniles

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
