From: Marina Poddubetskaia


Dear Bill,
After my week with Anne DuPont in the Southern Bahamas, I had a diving cruise in the Northern Bahamas. And I found there another elysiid: is it Elysia pratensis? I have seen only one specimen of this species and it was found crawling on the sand with many algae all around.

Date: February 09, 2004
Location: Bimini Islands, Bahamas, Western Atlantic
Site: South Cat Cay
Depth: 1m
Size : 8mm

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
It is good to get these photos of Caribbean elysiids. It will certainly help future workers to identify them. I agree that this is Elysia pratensis.
Best wishes
