Pretty similar are at least 2 " Xenia Mimics": Phyllodesmium sp. 04 which has rounded, bulbous cerata with several longitudinal lines of brown pigmentation, looking identical to the closed polyp of Xenia and Phyllodesmium sp. 08 at MEDSLUGS on which Ingo Burghardt writes "the brownish pigments on the cerata are arranged different, the cerata are thin and also arranged different from Phyllodesmium jakobsenae." It is l other species of the genus Phyllodesmium what Bill Rudman calls "Solar-powered Sea Slugs". More informations on Phyllodesmium jakobsenae are at Michael D. Miller's Slug Site! |
