Re: Hypselodoris infucata from the Mediterranean Sea

To accompany Orhan Aytur's message, although it is a well-known lessepsian species, Hypselodoris infucata is rarely seen in Turkish waters. It is found on, or around the sponge species of Dysidea, but these sponges are mostly found in North Aegean, Marmara and in the Black Sea, which is probably too cold for H. infucata. Therefore the distribution of H. infucata is limited to a few locations in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, where sponges are plenty. It will not be a surprise to see this species in Fethiye, Marmaris, Tekirova or in Iskenderun Bay.

Thanks Baki,
It would be inetersting to know if the Dysidea it feeds on in the Mediterranean is also a lessepsian migrant or a Mediterranean native.
Best wishes,
