Melibe engeli in aquarium

Bill,
You may be interested in some pictures of a Melibe sp. I found in one of my tanks. This must have arrived on "live rock" [from tropical Australia?] some six months earlier and somehow survived in the tank for all that time. Unfortunately, the tank crashed in April, 2000 about a month after I took the photo and I lost it. I assume it is M. engeli.
Andrew.

Dear Andrew,
Thanks for the photos. Certainly interesting to think that this animal could find enough small crustacea in your aquaria to not only stay alive but to grow substantially. It certainly looks like M. engeli.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
