Hi Bill
Regarding Steve Wheeler's query about British sea slug predators of Bryopsis: According to T.E. Thompson (1976), the British sacoglossans Placida dendritica and Limapontia capitata will eat it. I have found the former feeding on Bryopsis corticulans in California and Oregon. It is possible (and already known?) that Elysia viridis from Britain feed on Bryopsis.
Best Wishes,
Jeff
