Aldisa sp from Reunion island

April 12, 2006
From: Philibert Bidgrain

Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.

David Caron found this specimen. It look likes Aldisa sp 1 and Aldisa sp 2  with the presence of two large crater-like depressions and small pustules on the mantle. We can also observe a yellow margin on the foot ( posterior end)

Locality: Cap la Houssaye, Reunion Island, 3 m, indian ocean. Length: 20 mm. Photographer: David Caron

What's your opinion about this Aldisa?

Best Regards

Dear Philibert,
I am pretty sure your animal is the same as the one in message #5887 from Sth Africa, which I am calling Aldisa sp 4. The size of the 'craters' is quite remarkable making the animal very sponge-like.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
