Cerberilla sp. 7 from St. Vincent

November 1, 2005
From: Les Wilk

Hi Bill;

This is the species that Humann & Deloach called the "gold-fringed nudibranch", Cerberilla sp. The photo in their Reef Creatures book was also taken in St. Vincent. This is apparently the same as the one you called Cerberilla sp. 7, from West Palm Beach, Florida. I wonder if it's been reported from any other locations.

Locality: Joyce's Nursery dive site, St. Vincent Is., Caribbean. Depth: 15 feet. Length: 1 inch. July 2005. sand/muck bottom. Photographer: Keri Wilk

Dear Les,
Yes this is the Forum's Cerberilla sp. 7. I don't know of other records, but species of Cerberilla are probably more common than we think, as they spend most of their life buried in the sand so are seldom visible.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
