Dear Bill,

I found this pretty little Bullina lineata while diving at the old coal loading wharf at Catherine Hill Bay recently. It was only about 15mm long, and was in about 4 meters of water.

Locality: Catherine Hill Bay, NSW, Australia. Depth: 4 meters. Length: 15 mm. 25 September 2005. Sandy beach under old wharf. Photographer: Bruce Potter

Thanks Bruce,
Although we think of this animal as a sand dweller, it is surprising where it will turn up. It is quite common in New South wales on intertidal rock platforms and tidal pools crawling over algal covered rocks. I guess it will be found anywhere it can find the cirratulinid worms it feeds on.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
