Flabellina browni from the Baltic Sea

August 31, 2001
From: Erwin Koehler

Dear Bill,
attached is a photo from the Baltic Sea, Denmark, Als Island, depth 4 m, length 8 - 10 cm (!), August 2000. It was taken by Fred Vogt. [reticulata@gmx.net].

There are so many similar looking species, so I would like to read the comment of a specialist.

Dear Bill & Erwin,
I think this is Flabellina browni - on the basis of the distribution of the white pigment on the oral tentacles and rhinophores plus overall proportions. It is difficult to be certain from this one photograph though as I can't see the arrangement of the cerata clearly or the white pigment on the cerata clearly enough.

NB: Erwin I assume the length should be 8-10mm? .. Bill Rudman
