Re: Pigmentation in Tritonia

Dear Eleonor,
A small contribution to your question [#13414]: in the Mediterranean, we find Tritonia nilsodheri (very white) usually on white gorgonians (Eunicella singularis) but also (more creamy with gray lines) on orange/white polyps Lophogorgia ceratophyta.

A remark about Elysia viridis pigmentation: on the same dive last week-end (April 2nd) in the étang de Thau (Med/France) I found green ones but also creamy white coloured individuals, brown ones and even an almost black one! All seemed in perfect health.
Good study!
