Re: galeommatoidean commensal on Aplysia?

June 13, 2002
From: Serge Gofas

Dear Bill,
The possible association between a bivalve and a Sea Hare would be totally novel. Not only on Sea Hares, but I do not remember any documented Galeommatoidean association with another mollusc (but Epilepton spp. are found on Sipuncilids: not too far!) So why not?
All the best
Serge

Thanks Serge,
I couldn't recall any association, so thanks for the confirmation.
