Elysia cf. tomentosa

Order: SACOGLOSSA
Superfamily: ELYSIOIDEA
Family: Elysiidae

PHOTO

Crawling on the surface of mixed sand / coral rubble (not found associated with any alga). Seragaki, Okinawa, 20 ft. Length 37mm. PHOTO: R.F.Bolland.

This photo is of one of a number of possibly distinct species with papillae on the parapodia which in some ways 'fit' Kathe Jensen's description of Elysia tomentosa. I have a separate page for those messages and photos that seem to be her species, and this separate page for those which have similarities, but may be distinct species.
