Re: Elysia grandifolia? from Mediterranean Israel

Hello,
Me and my brother have found several sea slugs in a small lagoon on the shore of Achziv, near the city of Nahariyya, Israel (probably very close to where Dan was diving) [message #14808 ]. We believe the slugs we have found are either Elysia grandifolia or Elysia ornata. They are a bit different from the one Dan found.
Locality: Nahariyya, Israel, Mediterranean Sea. Depth: 0.5-1.0 m'. Length: 4 cm. 05 October 2005. small lagoon. Photographer: Tomer Halevy

Dear Tomer,
Thanks for these photos. Your animal also looks quite like Jacob Dafni's photo from Eilat, in the Red Sea [#12946] of one with a black head. As I said in Dan's message, we eally won't know which name to use until someone reviews the anatomy and nomenclature of this group of species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
