Nudibranch Id

[Julio]

Hello all,
Just a few weeks ago i went snorkling in the carribean and i can across two nudibranchs that were around 11-12 inces cross. It looked just like a lettuce nidibranch, but it just seemed too big.
thanks,
Julio

11 inches across? do you mean long? that isnt the diameter is it? then it have to be 3 feet long.

assuming that it was 11 inches long. Could it be a cucumber?

 

[acroporas]

Or maby some kind of worm?

Hey, it was actually 11inches long, and it was definitely a nudibranch.

And it had green growths on top of it?

it was all fleshy on top just like a lettuce nudibranch.

Without a picture it would be almost impossible to give you a positive ID. Try www.seaslugforum.net and start by looking under the geuns Elysia.
