Natural products of Elysia rufescens

Dear Bill:

Thank you very much for your information and nice pictures.

Some days ago, I have known through other colleagues that replied to my question, that this species feeds upon Bryopsis sp., among other algae. I also knew that some natural products potentially very active from a pharmacologically point of view have been discovered from this slug and also from its Bryopsis prey (Hamann & Scheuer, 1993, Journal of American Chemical Society 115:5825-5826 ). In this paper, the authors stated that other new discovered products were in the process of publication. Does anyone know if the description of those products are finally published?

Thank you very much.

Juan Lucas Cervera.

Does anyone have a photo of the animal?
