Flabellina iodinea from Bahia California

Hello Bill,
I send you a few pictures of a giant(!!!) Flabellina iodinea. According to Debelius it's maximum length is 40 mm???? I believe this one was between 100 and 150 mm. When you compare it with the stuff on the background, you will see how big it is.
Locality: La Paz, La Reinita, 36 m, Mexico, Baia California, Sea of Cortez, 10 July 2006, Reefwall. Length: 100 - 150. Photographer: Natasja Vandeperre

Vandeperre, N., 2007 (May 16) Flabellina iodinea from Bahia California. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/19129Dear Natasja,
On the Forum we have it as growing to 70 mm long and Behrens & Hermisillo have it growing to at least 60 mm, so Debelius is probably a bit under in his estimation. While looking in the background I found a nice little white Hancockia californica.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
