New England Flabellina is F. nobilis

June 29, 2001
From: Jussi Evertsen

Regarding Paul Young's last picture, this nudibranch is actually Flabellina nobilis Verrill, 1880 not Flabellina verrucosa. This can be seen by the continous arangement of cerata along the sides of the back, and if you examine the rhinophores, they are papillate.
