Aeolid from Florida?

November 14, 2002
From: Angelo


Found this little critter on the glass today. Then he took off to the rocks. Checked the Hitchhiker FAQ...can't seem to find an ID for it. I have "Gulf-view" Florida Rock and some garf grunge. Maybe he snuck in through those.
About 1" long.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Angelo

Dear Angelo,
This is an aeolid nudibranch but I can't say much more. I would need to know where it came from with more certainty, and a better photo of the head. If it is from Florida, it has a fairly characteristic shape, so if you are lucky someone may recognise it.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
