Typical Phyllidiopsis striata from Reunion Island

June 14, 2007
From: Hugues & Sandrine Flodrops

Dear Bill,
To illustrate the doubts I express in my other message [#19312 ], here are two specimens of typical Phyllidiopsis striata (Bergh 1888). We can observe the white mantle skirt and four black longitudinal bands. Also, we see black spots around the mantle edge and the two external black lines are connected at the posterior end.

The upper photo was taken at "Pain de sucre" Saint-Gilles, Reunion Island, depth 12 m, size about 9 mm, date observed: 20 december 2006.
The lower photo was taken at Saint-Leu, Reunion Island, depth 10 m, size about 10 mm, date observed: 12 December 2006. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.

Thanks for your comments and best regards.
