Kaloplocamus sp? from New South Wales

December 17, 2005
From: Leander Wiseman

Hi Bill,
Can you please ID this nudi.

Found on a night dive at Summercloud Bay, NSW Australia. It was about 15 mm long. It seems similar to Kaloplocamus ramosus, though more "warty".

Locality: Summercloud Bay, NSW, Australia. Depth: 10 m. Length: 15 mm. 03 August 2005. On algae, scattered rocky reef. Photographer: Leander Wiseman

Cheers
Leander

Dear Leander,
I am pretty sure this is part of the variation found in this species, although the white warty tubercles are strange.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
