Dear Marina,

I found a Tylodina perversa very big, like yours.
I think it is about 75 mm.

Locality: Krk Island, 3 metres, Croatia, Mediterranean, 25 June 2008. Length: 75 mm. Photographer: Roberto Pillon.

Dear Roberto,

Thanks for the record. It would be interesting to know why we sometimes find these 'giants'. Perhaps they are just individuals that have survived an extra year. I have included close-ups to show the head region and to show the posterior tip of the gill.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
