Dear Valérie and Bill,
When I saw your message [#13785] about Marionia levis, it reminded me of a lot about the animals I photographed in Mayotte, the Comoros, 2 years ago. Until now I considered them as unnamed species, but I would be happy to put a name on these guys. Bill, do you think they fit this species too ?
Locality: 'Bouzi', M'Sapéré, Mayotte Island, Comoro Ids, Indian Ocean.Depth: 10 m. Lengths: upper - 27-30mm; lower left - 29 mm; lower right - 27-30 mm. 12 November 2003. night dive. Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia
Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
Thanks very much for these. I didn't think I would get such a quick response from you and others about this species. I am sure your animal is the same thing. There is a nomenclatural complication concerning this species which I was going to leave for a manuscript I have in preparation, but it seems silly not to mention it now I have so many photos to illustrate the colour variability in the species. Have a look at my separate message [#13842].
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
