Thuridilla gracilis from the Solomon Ids

June 15, 2001
From: Bruce Potter

Bill,
I frequently see small Thuridilla-shaped slugs here, and many are too small to get good video images of.

This one was about 15mm long, and so the image is not good, but perhaps good enough to identify? It was at the Bonegi 1 dive site, just outside of Honiara in the Solomon Islands, and was found at about 7 meters on rubble.

Regards
Bruce Potter

Dear Bruce,
This is what I am calling Thuridilla gracilis and what Terry Gosliner identifies as the 'T. ratna' form of T. bayeri.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
