Polycera elegans
(Bergh, 1894)
Bernard Picton Has anyone seen Greilada elegans (Polycera elegans) in recent years in the UK or Ireland. They were very common on Lundy Island in 1977, but I've been told they haven't been seen for many years now?

Kate Lock I am pretty sure that there was one recorded in Skomer MNR - probably by yourself (would have to check the record) back also in the 70's..... but there sadly has been no record since :(
Bernard Picton Yes, Kate, I have a photo from Skomer in 1975! Strange, with the sea warming up a bit, that it has not been seen for a while.
Kate Lock Maybe it was a 70's fad - it would not go amiss in a 70's disco!

Jaime Romero Gracias compañero
Vanessa Knutson One of my favorites!
David Kipling Nice! This hasn't been seen in the UK for decades (must be at northern limit of range). How common is it further south in Europe? I might have to go on a trip! http://www.habitas.org.uk/marinelife/species.asp?item=W13670
João Pedro Silva Never seen it (and looked for it...) and was very rarely seen in Portugal.
David Kipling Terry Griffiths ... have you ever seen this?
Terry Griffiths David Kipling sorry it's on my hit list one day i hope , best thing i have had lately 20 mins with a Doris sticta, 50 photo's of following it around feeding.
David Kipling Yeah, it's on Sarah's list as well (close to top!). Annoyingly it's been recorded on Skomer (where we dive a lot) back in near-medieval times, so we keep looking out in hope!
