Flabellina from Jamaica

From: Ross W. Gundersen

Note added 4 February 2005: This animal has been identified as Flabellina dushia

Dear Bill:
Here is another sea slug from Jamaica. As I said in my first message, all specimens were collected from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, West Indies. Most specimens were collected using a light weight dredge and photographed by R. Gundersen.

This animal was 8 mm in length. Dredged at 5 m in Thallassia

Best wishes,
Ross

Thanks Ross,
I think this is the species Colin Redfern labels Flabellina sp. B in Bahamian Seashells. I don't know any with this colour and smooth rhinophores
