Phyllidia alyta from Myanmar
April 3, 2003
From: Mary Jane Adams
Hi Bill,
I shot this picture at Cavern Point, Mergui Archipelago, Andaman Sea, Myanmar on Feb. 17, 2003. The slug was about 3cm long and about 8 meters deep. I was just about to label the slide "Phyllidia elegans" when I read your messages about Phyllidia alyta. I compared it to the images on the Sea Slug Forum and the many P. elegans slides in my files and concluded that it looks more like Phyllidia alyta. What do you think? I also photographed a "typical" P. elegans in the same area.
Best regards,
Mary Jane
