Tiny New England Nudibranch

June 27, 2001
From: Paul Young

When I got my first camera I was taking pictures of Metridium anemones, and when we got one developed there was a nudibranch apparently eating the tentacles.

Unfortunately this isn't a great shot as it is a blow-up of a small part of the photo. The animal is less than a half-cm long. And I haven't seen one since.

Any ideas?

Dear Paul,
I am afraid I can't see enough to confirm it is a nudibranch. I am only posting your photo because it is possible someone who has studied life histories, will recognise it as a juvenile.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
