Dear Dr.Rudman
I went to Atsushi Ono's place Zamami, Kerama Ids, off Okinawa, Japan, from July 13, 2001 to July 17, 2001. We were able to observe about 80 kind of sea slugs.
I attach photos I took of some species of Elysia that were common there. I am happy if those are helpful for you.
Length: 12mm
Depth: 5-7M
Best Regards,

I have split the photos up into separate messages. This one is Elysiella pusilla. It is usually found feeding on the calcified green alga Halimeda
Best wishes,
