Thuridilla indopacifica

Gosliner, 1995


Stewart Clarke

Pete Bullen Looks like an elysia to me

Stewart Clarke Very good point :) been staring at Thuridillas all day and had a mind flip

Stewart Clarke Just found it, and it is a Thuridilla indopacifica

Jim Anderson Thuridilla sp. ? 28 mm animal at 13 m, Diani, Kenya - Nov 2012

Marli Wakeling Thuridilla indopacifica, I believe.

Gary Cobb I think this is Thuridilla lineolata. This animal is a mutant and has an extension to the anterior parapodia. Surprised this animal dose not have two heads!

João Pedro Silva Either it's a folded extension of the left parapodium or... it has a second head out of the right rhinophore... or it's just a Halloween costume :) I'm more inclined towards the first.

Gary Cobb I'd go with extension to the anterior end of the parapodia
