Dear Bill,
In response to your query [message #14048] whether anyone had seen Aplysia extraordinaria swimming, I sent you a photo of one swimming which appeared on the forum on 14 September 1999 [#1329]. However, it was a much smaller animal - only 120 mm in size.

Best wishes,
Julie Marshall

Dear Julie,
Sorry I should have made myself clearer. A. extraordinaria is definitely a swimmer. I was just wondering whether I had correctly identified this large New Zealand animals correctly. If it has never been seen swimming, perhaps it is not A. extraordinaria.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
