Hi Bill,
I thought you might like these two photos of Cerberilla ambonensis from the weekend. I sent you some photos earlier while diving [message #12501].

Cheers,

Thanks Gary,
It's interesting to see how 'shape' changes when these animals are photographed on a smooth hard surface. If you compare these photos with your in situ photos in the earlier message, you will see that the foot extends much further in the natural environment. I use 'glass-dish' photography a lot to get clean uncluttered backgrounds, but, particularly with species which normally live on mud or soft sand, they are obviously not fully 'at home' in a dish
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
