Jorunna tomentosa from Plymouth, UK

August 11, 2006
From: Judith Oakley

Dear Bill
Have been busy doing some marina surveys recently and came across a couple more sea slugs. Thought this must be Jorunna tomentosa, although the brown spots weren't very obvious. It was on Ulva lactuca.

Locality: Mayflower marina, Plymouth, UK, 07 August 2006, Marina pontoon on Ulva lactuca. Length: 4cm. Photographer: Judith Oakley.

regards

Dear Judith,
Yes this is Jorunna tomentosa. As in most species of the genus, the darker speckling on the mantle is sometimes more obvious than others, even in the same animal
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
