Hi Bill,
We found and identified Okenia zoobotryon in a hypersaline lagoon called Laguna de la Restinga on Margarita Island, Venezuela. I would like to send you the pictures of the specimen so you can confirm the identification
many thanks for your help! GOOD work!
Locality: Laguna de la Restinga, Margarita Island, Nueva Esparta, Venezuela, Caribbean. Depth: 5 m. December 2004. Photographer: Jesus Henrique Hernandéz

Grune, S., 2005 (Apr 11) Okenia zoobotryon from Venezuela. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/13487Dear Sylvia,
This certainly looks like the photo Kerry Clark sent to the Forum of Okenia zoobotryon [#169]. It would be nice to see the detail of the rhinophores, because in this species there are a few cup-shaped structures rather than a series of flattened lamellae.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
