Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Taylor's Sea Slug,
Phyllaplysia taylori, is common on blades of eelgrass (Zostera sp.) in low
intertidal areas from Nanaimo, British Columbia to San Diego, California. The
body is dorsoventrally flattened and from 25 to 45 cm long. Its color mimics
Zostera, with a bright green base with brown-black and white spots.
