Sagaminopteron psychedelicum from Reunion Island

February 14, 2005
From: Philibert Bidgrain

Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.
Sagaminopteron psychedelicum is relatively common in "Etang sale lagoon" from September to January where we can observe it under rocks. I continue to observe its presence in that site all year. We have only one photo from a diving site on the reef. I photographed this specimen laying its eggs but looking at the photo, there seems to be a second animal behind the first.

Locality: Etang Salé les bains" lagoon, Reunion Island, Indian ocean. Depth: 50 cm. Length: 10 to 15 mm. 25 September 2005. Photographer: Philibert Bidgrain

Best Regards

Dear Philibert,
I think there is only one animal there. Its head is at the lower right of the photo. Your photo shows the gills very well
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
