Symbiosis among Phyllidia?
January 8, 2000
From: Mark Schoenbeck
Do any species of the genus Phyllidia form symbioses with algae? If not, which is the closest relative of P. pustulosa that does form a symbiosis?

To my knowledge there are no dorid nudibranchs with an algal symbiosis. The closest relatives - and they are not very close - would be the aeolids and arminoideans I discuss on the "Solar-powered sea slugs" Page.
If you know of any dorids, or have suspicions about possible symbionts, I would like to hear about them.
Bill Rudman.
