Flat worm, black with delicate yellow stripes...

[indigo 0]

Found in approx 80ft water, close to wreck site. Approx 2cm long, and super speedy. Colour - black with fine yellow stripes. Never seen one of these before, although I have seen other varieties of sea slugs in St. Vincent.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As of 2003 it was left as Pseudobiceros sp. on Marine Flatworms of the World http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~bu6/car_gall01.html

Anne,

 

Glad you like it, new one for me. I have a couple of new DMs and they have eyes like hawks. Hopefully we'll get you diving down here in the not too distant future. In th emean time hope that I'll be able to make DEMA and we can touch base.

 

All the best,

 

Kay
