Well, it's a guess Nordic....

The other Esprit was driven, I think by Ferdinand de Lesseps, whose Great Grandaddy built the Suez Canal.

Now that had to be a big day if you were a sea slug in the Red Sea.

Bloody hell that was quick, ;D

Your right.
The migration of sea slugs is called Lessepsian, due to the creation of a canel linking two seas.

Five minutes of googling around does the job...  ;D


"Lessepsian Migration

The term lessepsian, is derived from Ferdinand De Lesseps who designed and led the team that built the Suez Canal, thus linking the Red Sea with the Mediterranean. Lessepsian migration refers to species which have entered the Mediterranean, from the Red Sea, through the Suez Canal. Some of these introductions seem to be permanent, some short-lived.

For those of you interested in exotic introductions to the Mediterranean, there is a website CIESM Atlas of Exotic Species in the Mediterranean Sea which has a list of introduced molluscs, including quite a few opisthobranchs. There is a comprehensive page on each species, but unfortunately no photos."

Sorry for the slight off topic here. What a shame there are no photos. Oh Christ, I would have loved to see some of those little buggers.  ;D

Happy to oblige.  As a scuba diver, I find these things quite interesting.  
Mind you, they're not very tasty though, having tried some in Japan.  :-X
