RE: Elysia? from Hachijo Is, Japan

Dear Bill,
Thanks for your comments on my message. The algae is Codium [Identified by local divers as Codium intricatum Okamura]. I personally identified the slugs as Elysia trisinuata. That tiny one (lower) is juvenile of E. trisinuata, I think.
Best Regards,

Dear Nishina,
If the algae it is on is a species of Codium it is definitely unlikely to be Elysiella pusilla. Although I can't see the characteristic 3 folds on the parapodia, I am happy to identify it as E. trisinuata.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
