Thuridilla hopei from Turkey
September 4, 2006
From: Kerim Sabuncuoglu
I took this photo in Bodrum - Turkey at a depth of 15 m. The slug is 0.5 cm long. This is not a common slug to our waters so I wonder if it is a new spicies.
Locality: Bodrum , 15 m, Turkey, Aegean Sea, 9 aug. 2006, Rocks. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: Kerim Sabuncuoglu.
Unfortunately I did not have my master camera and housing so this one was taken with a point and shoot digital camera.
Best Regards

Sabuncuoglu, K., 2006 (Sep 4) Thuridilla hopei from Turkey. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/17707Dear Kerim,
This colourful elysiid sacoglossan, Thuridilla hopei, is very variable in colour. By chance, the last message we received on this species, from Vasilis Athanasopoulos, was of a similarly coloured animal from Greece [#15307]. Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
