Juvenile Sakuraeolis enosimensis from China

April 23, 2005
From: QinJi

Dear Bill,
I found these very small nudis last sunday in the East China Sea. They would have been about 12-15 mm long. They are found on hydroids. Would I be correct in identifying them as Eubranchidae or Sakuraeolis enosimensis?

This is part of a message from QinJi [#13593] which included 2 species. To allow a cross-reference, I have separated Sakuraeolis enosimensis into this separate message. From the tentacular foot corners, colour pattern and general shape, this certainly appears to be a juvenile of  Sakuraeolis enosimensis

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
