Re: Aplysia cf. parvula (?) from the Red Sea

Dear Bill,
On my recent trip to the Philippines I found this Aplysia cf. parvula again. I collected 2 of them and brought them to the next resort, where an other slugmaniac (Brigitte) spent her holidays. In the box they started mating, so they must have been adults - their sizes: 16mm and 18mm, pretty much smaller than the Red Sea one. Brigitte placed them again in the sea and got some shots of them too. We did this procedure (with other seaslugs) several times - I guess she is still wondering how I find these little creatures ...
and I had several drinks on her!

Data: the Philippines: Cebu Island, Moalboal, "Sea Explorers" housereef,
depth 7m, 11.March 2002.

At my website are shots of 2 similar looking specimens from the Maldives at from the the Philippines in March 1999.
All of them were less than 2cm long...
