slug Berthelinia singaporensis Family Juliidae updated Jun 2020 Where seen? This tiny slug is sometimes seen on Caulerpa seaweeds such as Bell sea grape seaweeds and Delicate feathery green seaweed on some of our shores. Several slugs may be seen on one clump of seaweed. It was first described as a new species in July 2015 and named after Singapore. Features: A tiny well camouflaged slug (0.5-1cm long). A pair of oval transparent 'shells' with the slender slug in between. The slug is exactly the same colour as the seaweed that it is found on. It has a pair of slender tentacles (rhinophores) with a sprinkling of white spots. |
