Adriance, T., 2006 (Jul 8) Bornella anguilla from the Philippines. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16854Dear Terry,
This is Bornella anguilla. If you have a look at the Fact Sheet and other messages you will see that the name anguilla [= eel] comes from its habit, when startled, of swimming with a sinuous eel-like motion.
I guess you won't mind if I don't post your later 'thanks for nothing' message which you sent because I didn't reply quickly enough for you. I am afraid I receive on average 10 messages a day and although I would like to, I can't physically answer that many every day. I am trying to recruit some 'helpers' but essentially I do this myself, in my own time. I explain there is a chance your message won't be posted in the Instructions on sending messages page. If in the future you wish to inquire about the fate of a message all you need to do is ask nicely and quote the message number which is sent to you as an acknowledgement.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
