Concerning message #18321:

Dear Bill,
Here are further thoughts on Phyllidiella meandrina. I confirm the information of Marina P. I think Phyllidiella meandrina is one of the most common seaslugs of Reunion Is but with a large  polymorphism.

Locality: Banc Doré, Saint-Leu, 18 metres, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 10 May 2006. Length: 20, 40 et 35 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.

Here are three pictures to illustrate this during the same diving.
Upper photo: Size: 20 mm.
Middle photo: Size: 40 mm.
Lower photo: Size: 35 mm.
Maybe the third picture is of P. cf annulata?

Thanks for your forum.
Best regards.
Hugues

Dear Hugues,
I think these are all Phyllidiella meandrina, but as I said in response to your last message, working out just what is a species in this genus, is still a work in progress

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
