Spurilla neapolitana from Belize
October 12, 1999
From: Dave Behrens
Dear Bill:
With all the terrific coverage of the color variation in Spurilla neapolitana you have recently amassed on the Forum, I thought I'd pull
out a photo I took awhile back in Belize, Central America. This is one of two specimens collected in a shallow, very warm water, mangrove area on Seal Caye, Honduran Barrier Reef, Belize, April, 1992.
My best to you,

Thanks very much. It's interesting to see the colour variation in some of these wide spread species. It would be interesting to know whether the dark greenish network of lines on the body, in your photo, are digestive gland ducts or a surface pattern on the skin.
Bill Rudman.
