Hi Bill,

Since Rostanga pulchra has been a topic of discussion lately my friend Mike and I went looking for them Wed night. We found several on their food sponge.

Dear Clinton & Mike,
Thanks for thinking of us. With its tight circle of gills and upright thinophore leaflets, this certainly looks like a species of Rostanga. I guess that is its egg ribbon in the upper photo?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
