Pleurobranchus peroni from Sydney

March 31, 2000
From: Barbara Harvey


Dear Bill,

Thanks for the last 3 IDs, much appreciated.

Here is a pleurobranch I found at Clovelly pool [Sydney, NSW] on 19 March 2000 under rock in inter-tidal zone. About 6cm long. Can't find anything with hexagon bumps.

TIA

Dear Barbara,
This is Pleurobranchus peroni, a regular tropical visitor to Sydney. It has quite a range of colour forms and changes colours as it grows. A number of pleurobranchs have hexagonal markings, usually outlining the base of tubercles. An animal from Clovelly, Sydney is not quite as exotic as your least finds from the Galapagos Ids.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
