Re: Unknown dorid from Croatia

Dear Bill,

As I have said before, only a photo is often not enough to identify a nudibranch. The photographed animal is not Aldisa banyulensis nor A. smaragdina. To me, the "spot" that seems one of the typical features of the Mediterranean Aldisa spp. is only the branchial tuft, in this photo, although this is not clear. Internal anatomy would supply more light about the identity of this animal.

Cheers.

Lucas.

Thanks Lucas,
Looks like this is another one fated to a life in limbo on the 'unidentified' page.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman.
