Dear Bill,

Here is a new species for the Forum - Eubranchus prietoi. It is very common in Arcachon Basin and many specimens could be seen from October to July on Plumularia setacea.

Locality: 'Saint Yves', Arcachon, Arcachon Basin. France. Atlantic Ocean. Depth: 9 -12 m. Length: 2 - 7 mm  20 June 2005. rocks with hydroids. Photographer: Marina Poddubetskaia Ossokine

Also, I saw this species in Dakar (Senegal) some months ago, but on a different hydroid. And thank you to Lucas Cervera who, some months ago, firstly identified this species for me and provided me with original description.

For more information, please have a look at my page :

Best wishes,
Marina.
