Philibert Bidgrain

Locality : on the rocky coast

Length : 35 mm

Depth : less 1 m

Date : 20 August 2006

Remarks :


It 's a photo of Pleurobranchus grandis or P. peroni. A specimen with low pustules, that are group in a characteristic way; one large pustule is surrounded with a ring of six to eight smaller pustules, on te tubular siphon on the midline mantle which is characteristic of P. grandis. But the rest of the mantle looks like more P. peroni.
