Flabellina lineata from Scotland
May 25, 2005
From: Jim Anderson
Dear Bill,
We observed many (dozens) of these Flabellina lineata on Sunday during 2 dives. They ranged from 25 metres up to 9 metres. The water temp was approx 10 deg C. There were also many more spawn masses visible. The animals were all large 35 -55 mm long approx. compared with much smaller animals seen the week previously at a site 50 miles from here.
Locality: Kenmore Point, Loch Fyne, Scotland (Sea Loch on west coast of Scotland). Depth: 9 - 25 metres. Length: 40 mm.16 May 2005. on cliff and boulders. Photographer: Jim Anderson
Best wishes,
Jim Anderson

Thanks Jim,
These animals certainly prove how wrong it is to think that beautiful nudibranchs are only found in tropical waters.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
