Costasiella sp 3 from Lizard Id, Queensland
January 9, 2004
From: Nils Anthes
Dear Bill,
This Aeolid was found on algae in 16m depths on sandy bottoms, Lizard Island, QLD Australia (20 December 2003). Body length about 9mm. Have you got any idea what it is?
Kind regards
Nils

Anthes, N., 2004 (Jan 9) Costasiella sp 3 from Lizard Id, Queensland. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11834Dear Nils,
This is a sacoglossan rather than an aeolid, and belongs to the genus Costasiella which can be distinguished externally by the position of the eyes, close together in the dorsal midline. This species is rather widespread and is on the Forum as Costasiella sp 3.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
