Dear Bill & Mike,
Concerning message #13234: I think that Kerry Clark collected Ercolania fuscovittata a single time in Florida, so I wouldn't exactly call it invasive. However, it probably has been introduced through human activities, but whether it has established a successful, breeding population, I don't know.

I think Kerry's record has been listed in his paper about sacoglossans as species at risk:

  • Clark, K.B. 1994. Ascoglossan (=Sacoglossa) molluscs in the Florida Keys: rare marine invertebrates at special risk. Bull. Mar. Sci. 54: 900-916.

Best wishes,
Kathe
