Juvenile Phyllodesmium longicirra

May 10, 2002
From: Mary Jane Adams


Hi Bill,

I found this group of aeolids on a silty sand slope with patches of low reef. They are about 8 mm long. I think they are juvenile Phyllodesmium longicirra. What do you think?

Dear Mary Jane,
They could be P.longicirra or for that matter some other species of Phyllodesmium. Another example, if we need one, to show us how much we still have to learn about these animals.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
