Ab van Lenten Can anyone help with the identification of this nudi, found at the Costa Brava. It's about 1 a 2 cm long. I first thought about a Felimare orsinii, but they have more deep blue colors I think, or a Felimare tricolor maybe
Thanks,
Ab

Boomer William Wing Lol...looks like we are all ID the same thing: Hypselodoris midatlantica = Felimare tricolor = Hyselodoris tricolor.
João Pedro Silva Sure, but the valid name is Felimare tricolor and the other are junior synonyms: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=597530
Boomer William Wing I see that Gosliner did all that last year, 2012. DNA mapping is changing allot of species.
João Pedro Silva Yes, it's freely available here: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0033479
In spite of being so recent, me and Gonçalo Calado decided to adopt it in our guide "Sea Slugs of the Algarve" due to the overwhelming evidence (http://hypselodoris.blogspot.pt/p/guia-de-campo-field-guide.html)
Boomer William Wing Yes, João Pedro Silva I already saw it. Looks like a nice book you guys have.
Boomer William Wing I found it in the marinespecies link you provided

Nuno Filipe SilvestrePeltodoris atromaculata

João Pedro Silva Nuno, that's Peltodoris atromaculata, a common species in our area. When posting here, as this is a group more oriented towards studying sea slugs and less for sharing pretty pictures, keep in mind it's important to say where it was taken including depth and time of the year as this information may prove useful.
João Pedro Silva If you're interested, go through my blog to meet some other sea slugs in our area and also identify further observations:
http://hypselodoris.blogspot.pt/
João Pedro Silva I went through some of your photos of nudibranchs and spotted a couple of misidentifications (one Felimida purpurea identified as Felimida krohni and a Felimare cantabrica identified as Felimare picta) but I'm unable to comment there.
Henrique Nascimento CatarinaHypselodoris tricolor, protecting their eggs or making more?
João Pedro Silva Felimare tricolor, they don't "protect" as they have no parental care. These might even belong to another individual (although this may be the father). They lay the eggs turning counterclockwise, fron the inside out. The individual in the photo is turning to the right, so it's not spawning at this moment. They often mate and lay the eggs in the same spot, so sometimes you have both individuals spawning next to each other:

Carlos Fernández-Cid Ramos From Galicia Spain. Vigo
Josep LLuis Peralta RebullFlabellina babai
Carlos Fernández-Cid Ramos Thank You Nudimaster. I know
João Pedro Silva Interesting how not so long ago this was thought to be endemic to the Mediterranean. Right after Hypselodoris villafranca, it's the most common and easily seen nudibranch here in Portugal.
Erling Svensen THIS was a beautiful one. Congratulations...! Can you export one to Norway? (alive)
João Pedro Silva Don't know if it would survive the trip (they are fairly large and active so I suppose their metabolism is rather fast). I'm often asked if this species is expanding its distribution. I really don't know but I'm more inclined to say that there are more "nudi aware" divers with cameras and also more diving spots.
Carlos Fernández-Cid Ramos Thanks Joao and Erling. It´s my first Babai in Galicia. It´s rare here. The H.Villafranca and Cantabrica are the most common
João Pedro Silva The "Top 5" in frequency here in Portugal are Hypselodoris villafranca, Flabellina babai, Hypselodoris cantabrica, Hypselodoris tricolor and Chromodoris krohni.

João Pedro Silva Uma abordagem original :)
Talvez fizesse um crop de forma a ter um pouco menos espaço negativo do lado esquerdo (ou mais espaço negativo relativo do lado direito)
O Gajo Dos Olivais Foi uma experiência. Conta com edição, limpeza, máquina assente no fundo, "longa" exposição (1/15) com nenhuma fola, abertura pequenÃssima, luz indirecta, luz solar e mesmo assim... trabalhinho de edição. Tentei compensar os espaços negativos mas a proporção que via acabava por dar um aspecto muito desproporcional ao motivo. Foi a minha primeira. Outras virão. Tenho aqui mais umas para limpar... :)
Monica Dalmases Martin Are Hypselidoris tricolor and Felimare tricolor the same nudibranch?!
I can't see the diference...
O Gajo Dos Olivais Monica, the NE Atlantic Hypselodoris genera was reclassified to Felimare last year
O Gajo Dos Olivais oh, and some species of Chromodoris to 'Felimida', like 'Felimida' purpurea, 'Felimida' krohni, etc.
O Gajo Dos Olivais Check it here: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0033479
João Pedro Silva Not only the NE Atlantic Hypselodoris: all Hypselodoris from the Atlantic are now Felimare and all Chromodoris of the Atlantic are now 'Felimida'... and the same happened to some of the Western Pacific. And Glossodoris to 'Felimida'. It was a major revision.
João Pedro Silva Regarding "Hypselodoris tricolor" and "Felimare tricolor", they are the same but only the latter name is valid:
http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=139155
Monica Dalmases Martin I supused it...!! Thanks! this information is perfect!!!
I will remember it by fire :-)
O Gajo Dos Olivais Yes, sorry,I meant Atlantic and not only NE. I Wwas under the impression that Pacific Hypselodoris would remain though..
Monica Dalmases Martin In Mediterran Sea change it too. In catalonia there are a ophistobranch research group and I asked about the change of genus denomination . If you want i can post the answer I think is interesant to classificate the sp.
O Gajo Dos Olivais Thank you Monica, it would be nice
João Pedro Silva Are you talking about GROC, Monica Dalmases Martin? I know (and admire) their work :)
João Pedro Silva Fernando Trindade, regarding Pacific's Felimare, there are quite a few. Remember the connection between south and north America is relatively "recent":
http://www.medslugs.de/E/Pac-E/Nudibranchia.htm#Doridacea
Monica Dalmases Martin Exactly João Pedro Silva. I met them last year did a training course for species identification.
Since then I belong ti thr association but I don't reported sightings by the moment.
You are doing a good job too. I love all this ecosistem and aportation that people do it! Thanks x-D
João Pedro Silva Some of the photos in the field guide "Sea Slugs of the Algarve" came from members of GROC.
http://hypselodoris.blogspot.pt/p/guia-de-campo-field-guide.html
Monica Dalmases Martin The answer was Hypselidoris changed the family name beeing Felimare and Chromodoris beeing Felimida. All this it was a genetic reasons :-D
Thanks for your help!!
João Pedro Silva And there are more revisions of nudibranchs based on molecular studies, some already published and other still ongoing.
Paco Bonilla Ese amarillo parece mas un reflejo del foco que propio de los animales. Si el borde exterior es en realidad blanco yo me inclino más por H. orsini. Cómo era Xavi, blanco o amarillo???.
Una pregunta más: ¿estaban en la parte de arriba de la pared que está justo enfrente del furió?
Xavi Carrillo de Albornoz Hola Paco, tengo otra foto sin luz directa y es amarillo el borde exterior. Comparándolo con la guia que ha colgado Jol sà que parece una Hypselodoris Orsinii. Estaba en la pared de Furió mismo. Gracias a los dos, asà voy aprendiendo poco a poco
