Glossodoris sedna from Florida

May 19, 2003
From: Brian Smith

I shot this "critter" a few weeks ago in Key Largo, Florida. I think it's a nudi, but I'm not sure. (I thought the first flatworm I took a picture of whas a nudi!)

I shot this beautiful creature near Tavernier, Key Largo, Florida, USA on April 12, 2003, in less than 30' of water

Thanks,

Dear Brian,
This is a chromodorid nudibranch named Glossodoris sedna. It is quite common on the East Pacific coast of central America and as we have discussed earlier it has been found a few times in Florida and the northern Bahamas and is considered an accidental introduction through shipping from the eastern Pacific.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
