Opisthobranch from Yucatan, Mexico
November 6, 2007
From: Jazmin Ortigosa
Dear Bill,
I have collected one specimen of this opisthobranch in Yucatan , Mexico . It was about 18 m deep over an algae from the genus Padina, although I don't think there is any dietary relationship.. It size is 14 mm long. Can anyone give me any clue on what can it be?
Locality: Yucatan, 18 m, Mexico, Gulf of Mexico, 06 June 2007. Length: 14 mm. Photographer: Jazmin Ortigosa.
Best regards,
Jazmin Ortigosa

I have the feeling I have seen a photo of this before but unfortunately I can't remember where. It looks as though it is probably an aeolid of the phidianid/facelinid group but I can't find an appropriate name. Perhaps if it has a name someone will recognise it for us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
