Elysia tomentosa from Hawaii

October 4, 2003
From: Keoki Stender

Hi Bill,
Here's what looks like Elysia tomentosa from a tidepool at Kaunolu Bay, SW Lanai, Hawaii. I have never seen this species in Hawaii before. It was on Caulerpa taxifolia, length 25mm, date 15 March 2002.

Thanks,
Keoki Stender

Dear Keoki,
This is an interesting find and certainly looks like E. tomentosa. It is good to have another record of it on Caulerpa taxifolia - the growing records of its association with that species of Caulerpa in widely separated parts of the world suggest that the association is not just an opportunistic relationship.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
