Yuji Fujie, 2005 (Nov 25) Elysia rufescens from Saipan, Marianas Ids. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15352Dear Yuji,
This is Elysia rufescens. Another name given to this animal is E. kushimotoensis. It is intersting seeing these animals in their natural environment. This animal seems to have a very noticeable red reticulate pattern on the parapodia. However when on this shelly background, it belands in quite well with the background substrate, the red network matching the gaps between the shell fragments in the background very well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
