Concerning message #19598:

Dear Bill and Linda,

Edmunds & Just (1983) reported this species as "Spurilla alba " to Barbados based in a single specimen 7 mm long.

They also observed the movement of the rinophores as described by Alicia Hermosillo in the specimen from Mexico and now in this specimen from Florida. Concerning the wide distribution of this species, the authors commented on the possibility that it was introduced into the Atlantic by a ship or a boat.

Best wishes,
