Concerning message #9208:
Hello to all!! I have taken a picture of the Hypselodoris infucata on the North Coast of Cyprus. The area where I found it has only few sponges. It was a night dive and the H. infucata was active. So, is this a new species or only a migrant which found its way to North Cyprus?
Locality: Zeyko Diving Site / Girne, 15m, Turkish Republic of North Cyprus, editerranean, 16 August 2007, Rocks - algae. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Henrik Personn.

Personn, H., 2009 (Mar 4) Re: Hypselodoris infucata from the Mediterranean Sea. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22309Dear Henrik,
As well as the message you refer to, there are a couple more messages on the Forum reporting H. infucata from the Mediterranean [message #20988; #9145]. I am not sure if there are records from northern Cyprus, but it is quite a well-known Indo West-Pacific visitor to the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal. We call these animals lessepsian migrants.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
