Janolus cristatus from Tunisia

May 2, 2003
From: Anis

Dear Bill,
I found this sea slug in a coastal lagoon, "Lac de Tunis" in Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa. Depth: 0 to 1m some time between January and March, 2003.

Can you identify it please.
Thanks,
Anis.

Dear Anis,
I think this is Janolus cristatus. Usually there is a broad bluish-white subapical band on the cerata, but I guess I an't see it in your photos because of the white background.

[Thanks for sending me another email address. Unfortunately it does not work either. Don't send another address to the website, try sending me an email message directly to billr@seaslugforum.net then hopefully I can automatically reply]

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
