Dear Bill,
Here is a record of Pauleo jubatus from the Northern Bahamas. Both animals were found during a night dive, on their gorgonian. I moved them on the seaweed because of the current, to have better photos.

Date: February 09, 2004
Location: Bimini Islands, Bahamas, Western Atlantic
Site: Donut Reef
Depth: 10-12m
Length: 35mm, 45mm
Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia - Nembro website

Cordially,
Marina.

Thanks Marina,
This one of only a few aeolids which eat gorgonians. I have included a few close-ups in a second message [#12401].
Best wishes
