From: Constantine Mifsud

Hi Bill,
I am attaching a few images of Haminoea cyanomarginata. The specimen was found by Panayotis Ovalis, attached to leaves of Posidonia on a boat with tangle nets from the gulf of Saronikos, Greece.This is probably an extension into the Mediterranean of this Lessepsian species.

Locality:  Gulf of Saronikos, Greece, Mediterranean. Depth: 25 metres. Length: about 20 mm, shell 8 mm. 8 October 2005. attached to Posidonia in tangle nets. Photographer: Panayotis Ovalis

Regards,
Constantine Mifsud

Dear Constantine & Panayotis,
Thanks for these beautiful photos. This animal has definitely made the eastern Mediterranean its new home. We now have quite a few records from Turkey, and  Erwin Koehler mentions a record from the Korinthiakos Gulf, Greece [message #8896].
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
