Placida dendritica from Scotland

From: Jim Anderson

Dear Dr. Rudman,
ID'd for me by Bernard Picton, it was approx 10mm long and at 7 metres on a boulder face among Halopteris -like undergrowth. We were in Loch Leven, near Ballachulish, Scotland. water temperature 10 deg C.

I brought it out and photographed it in a tank on shore on a piece of slate with my Nik 5 and 2:1 CU.
Regards,
Jim A

Thanks Jim,
At last a photo of the 'real' Placida dendritica from Europe. When I get a moment I should prepare a proper Fact Sheet on this species. It will be interesting to see how many species this 'species' will eventually be split into.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
