Hi,
I have seen this in a sandy lagoon in the Red Sea during a night dive.
It seems to be Marionia cyanobranchiata, is it so?

Locality: Shaab Mahmoud, Red Sea, on the coast of Sinai desert, Egypt. Red Sea. Depth: ~4 meters. Length: 120 mm. 24 August 2005. laying on the sand. Photographer: Tal Darom

Dear Tal,
Thanks for this. Yes it is Marionia cyanobranchiata. We don't have many records of this species, but the colour pattern seems to be very characteristic.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
