Juvenile Dendrodoris denisoni from Queensland

June 8, 2001
From: Nerida Wilson


Hi Bill,
This I think this is a juvenile Dendrodoris denisoni. It was found crawling on intertidal seagrass on Fisherman Island. This island sits near the mouth of the Brisbane river in Moreton Bay, Queensland, so it is safe to say this species is silt tolerant! It was about 10mm long.

Dear Nerida,
Yes this is Dendrodoris denisoni. They are often much more spectacularly coloured as juveniles.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
