New record of Thuridilla livida from the GBR
February 2, 2005
From: Ingo Burghardt
Dear Bill,
Happy New Year 2005 and thank you for opening the Forum again! Congratulation! :-)
I've noticed that that there was no record of Thuridilla livida from the Great Barrier Reef. Here it is: I've found one specimen of Thuridilla livida in the shallow waters of Bird Island. As far as I can tell there was no photosynthetic activity measurable (by Diving-PAM), so either this species is not able to retain living chloroplasts or it just keeps them photosynthetic active for a short period of time...
Locality: Bird Island (Lizard Is. Group, Great Barrier Reef). Australia, Coral Sea. Depth: 1-2 m. Length: 14 mm. 18 August 2004. Intertidal, between coral rubble. Photographer: Ingo Burghardt
Cheers,
Ingo
