Spurilla neapolitana from Brazil

From: Carlo Magenta-da-Cunha

Dear Friend,

Here is a specimen of Spurilla neapolitana from Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil (Coast Northest).

This animal was found by me, under a rock in 0.5 m of water, July 1999. It was 28 mm long.

Best Regards,

Dear Magenta,

It's good to see a nudibranch photo from Brasil. Being familiar with the many scientific papers on Brasilian sea slugs by Eveline & Ernst Marcus it is good at last to see a photo of a living example. I look forward to more in the future.

Have you any thoughts on the red aeolid you sent a photo of some time ago? I suspect it is also S. neapolitana. Perhaps it had been feeding on red sea anemones.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
