Flabellina exoptata? from the Red Sea

June 4, 2007
From: Sven Kahlbrock


Hello Bill,
I found these in the Egyptian Red Sea. I wondered if they are Flabellina exoptata, but the body is not that small and the typical rhinophores are missing. Do you have any idea what it is?

Dear Sven,

This is what I have been calling Flabellina sp. 1 on the Forum, but as I mentioned recently [message #16905], I think it will probably turn out to be a colour form of Cuthona sibogae

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
