Spurilla neapolitana is a pantropical species, found in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, eastern Pacific and Hawaii. Recent molecular work at Valdés lab suggests that it may constitute a complex of distinct species.

A fluorescent image of a live mammalian nerve-muscle preparation stained with FM1-43 and fluorescein-tagged α-bungarotoxin, provided by the Voss laboratory in the Biological Sciences Department. The figure illustrates a brightly stained nerve (vertical structure) branching to form contacts with skeletal muscle fibers (horizontal structures). The brightest structures are the points of contact between the nerve and muscle fibers (neuromuscular junctions). Each muscle fiber is approximately 20 - 30 µm in diameter.
