Discodoris atromaculata from Holland

July 1, 2003
From: Andy den Boer

Dear Bill,
I would like your comment on our followinhg observation on Saturday 14 June 2003. In the Oosterschelde, Netherlands. Divesite Het Sas van Goes. 4 meters deep on two different stones; 5 Dotted sea-slugs with eggs. I have seen them on Lanzarote [Canary Ids] in December 2002, so I am fairly sure they are Discodoris atromaculata, yet I don't know of any diver who has spotted them in the Oosterschelde before.

Do you know which other species it maybe might have been? We will go there next week with a camera and w'll try to find out what it feeds on.
Greetings
Andy

Dear Andy,
Discodoris atromaculata is quite a distinctive species. I don't know of any records from so far north so if your identification is correct it would be an exciting find. I look forward to seeing a photo of them. Hopefully they will still be there when you return
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
