Orange Seaslug from Quebec

March 11, 2002
From: J-F Desroches

Hi Dear All,
I collected an orange Seaslug at Bic (just west of Rimouski, south shore of St-Lawrence River), in Quebec, on september 24th 1994. It was on shallow water (less than 30 cm) and under a rock. I still have the specimen in collection.

Can anyone tell me the species' name? Is it possible from a so-poor description?
Thanks

Dear J-F,
I'm afraid we will need a few more clues. Can you give us an idea about its shape? Is it a dorid like Onchidoris bilamellata or an aeolid like Flabellina verrucosa. One good book that might help you is Sea Slugs of Atlantic Canada and the Gulf of Maine.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
