Abstract
Aplysia dactylomela is widely distributed in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, but has not been recorded in the Mediterranean. Recently, underwater photographs of this species from the eastern Mediterranean were posted on Internet forums. The Mediterranean coasts of Turkey were screened for this species and two alive individuals were encountered. This study constitutes the first record of this species from the Turkish coastline and provides enough evidence that Aplysia dactylomela is spreading in the Levant Basin.
