Doriopsilla pelseneeri from Portugal

May 29, 2007
From: Joao Pedro Silva

Dear Bill,

Here's one of the several specimens of Doriopsilla pelseneeri I've seen during this dive. There were several dozens around and they were surprisingly large. At first I thought it was another color form of Doriopsilla areolata but it missed the typical reticulated white lines I'm used to see in local specimens.

Locality: Baleeira dive spot, Sesimbra, 8 metres, Portugal, Atlantic, 9 September 2006, rocky bottom. Length: 4cm. Photographer: Joao Pedro Tojal Loia Soares Silva.

Cheers,
Joao Pedro
