Marionia echinomuriceae from Hong Kong

August 9, 2003
From: Kathe R. Jensen

Dear Bill,
I am submitting two pictures of one of the original specimens from which I described Marionia echinomuriceae. The animal was collected in Hong Kong, by trawling at 114 degrees 14.82'E and 22 degrees 11.20'N, at a depth of 18m. The date was 27 April 1992. I was trying to take the picture (close-up) when the animal was biting into the food gorgonian, Echinomuricea indomalaccensis, but unfortunately there was a branch sticking out of the water, so it is a bit out of focus.

Best wishes,
Kathe
