Buyukbaykal, F., 2005 (Oct 11) Elysia cf. tomentosa from Turkey. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14982Dear Ferda,
This is what I am calling Elysia tomentosa, but may be different. It has paillae on the parapodia and body, and the parapodia has a pinkish brown line at the margin, edged on both the insise and outside by a thin black line. Have a look at the ongoing discussion on the Forum in messages on the E. tomentosa page. There are some nice photos of it from Turkey where Baki Yokes reports it feeding on Caulerpa taxifolia [message #10601].
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
