Siphopteron tigrinum from Kerama Island

Dear Bill,

Attached is the photo you requested.

S.tigrinum is rare on Kerama Is,near Okinawa. I have seen only 5 individuals in the last 3 years.
We can find it from 3-10m depth, but size is very small 3mm long. I think that they are seen all the year round.

Sincerely,
Atushi Ono

Dear Atsushi,
Again thanks for the photo. Your side views of the very small animals give us a very good idea of the shape of these amazing animals.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
