Here is a video still of a bright green Notobryon wardi from Quatto Island, Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea, taken in November 2003. We found it at 50 feet in a field of Halimeda weed. Size about 2.5 cm.

Dear Ray,
I think this is the related Crosslandia viridis. This group of species are quite rarely found, probably because they are so well camouflaged, so every record we can get is of interest to help us understand their colour variability, and get an idea how many species there are.
Best wishes
