Onchidoris bilamellata from New England

June 21, 2001
From: Paul Young


Dear Bill,
Locally this animal is called the Rough-Mantled Nudibranch. We believe it is Onchidoris bilamellata.

It is found on rocks and spawns on rocks. It is 2-3 cm. This photo was taken off Mount Desert Island, New England, USA [Atlantic coast] but we have seen them as far south as Rhode Island.

Dear Paul,
I am sure if it is not Onchidoris bilamellata someone will let us know
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
