Hi Bill,
Concerning Baki's animal from Turkey, Elysia ornata has been also recorded in Canary Islands, although no published or known records to date in Western Mediterranean.

Regards.
Lucas.

Thanks Lucas,
I guess what needs to be sorted out is whether the Caribbean E. ornata is the same as the Indo-West Pacific E. ornata and whether the Indian Ocean E. grandifolia is different. I guess the Canary Island record is of the Caribbean 'species' or 'form'. Since there are no records of this from the western Mediterranean I guess Baki's animal from Turkey, is just as likely to be a lessepsian migrant as it is to be a visitor from the Caribbean. Just another little mystery to be solved
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
