Elysia crispata? from Cuba
March 23, 2007
From: Simon Crawford
I snapped this little critter off the Isla De La Juventud, Cuba and have struggled to identify it. Can anyone help?
Locality: Isla De La Juventud, circa 12m, Cuba, Carribean, Late October 2006, Coral reef. Length: approx 5cm. Photographer: Simon Crawford.
Best regards,
Simon

From the very folded edge of the parapodia, I would say this is probably Elysia crispata, but we would need a higher resolution scan, showing the front of the body more clearly to be sure.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
