Flabellina salmonacea? from New York

August 27, 1999
From: Betsey Hansen

Bill,
I am sending you three slides of what I believe is Coryphella salmonacea.

One of the slides shows the eggs.

These were all taken this year on a beach dive in the Atlantic Ocean off New York at about 12 feet (4 meters). The slugs were about 1 - 1.5 inches (25 - 40mm) long.

Best wishes,
Betsey Hansen

Dear Betsey,
Again, what wonderful photos. Flabellina salmonacea is described as having 'wrinkled' rhinophores. I have posted a close-up of the rhinophores to show a structure which looks a bit more complex than 'wrinkled'.
