Trailing in Haminoea cymbalum from Reunion Island

October 18, 2005
From: Philibert Bidgrain

Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.
A week ago, we found in permanent shallow pools on the rocky reef of Etang salé les bains, a great number of this sea slug. I see a lot of specimens, having this characteristic behavior of trailing in pairs on the substrate and on the seaweed.

Locality: Etang Sale. Reunion Island. Indian Ocean. Depth: 10 cm. Length: 10-15 mm. October 2005.permanent pools Photographer: Philibert Bidgrain

Dear Philibert,
Thanks for this. 'Trailing appears to be a pretty wide spresd phenomenon in the opisthobranchs. By coincidence I posted a message recently on Haminoea cyanomarginata [#15015], showing its own version of trailing.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
