Additional record of Thecacera pennigera from Florida

May 5, 2005
From: Jeff Goddard

Hi Bill,
Kevin Johnson, a friend of mine who teaches at the Florida Institute of Technology, and his Biological Oceanography students recently found this specimen of Thecacera pennigera at the mouth of Sebastian Inlet, on Florida's Atlantic coast.

Kevin asked me to identify the specimen, and by luck I recognized the color pattern from my previous browsing of Thompson and Brown's (1984) monograph on British nudibranchs.

Locality: mouth of Sebastian Inlet, Florida, USA. Atlantic Ocean. Depth: Low intertidal. Length: 7.5 mm. April 2005. rocky/sandy. Photographer: Kevin Johnson

I thought that Kevin's photograph would complement Colin Redfern's 2003 message [#11513 ] concerning Kerry Clark's records of this species from Florida, which were apparently from the same locality.

Best wishes,
Jeff Goddard

Thanks Jeff,
It's certainly nice to get another record. A photo showing the colour form is certainly better than a name on a list.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
