Polycera from Papua New Guinea

From: Stuart Hutchison


Dear Bill,

Here two tiny 4mm long subjects photographed some miles apart in March/April, 1999 in Milne Bay, PNG. Very enlarged and underdeveloped image. Both were found in about 15m of water and were photographed at 1:1 then digitally enlarged for you. The grains of sand give away its size!

Regards,
Stuart Hutchison

Dear Stuart,
These are almost certainly juveniles. They are one of a group of orange-spotted nembrothid species I have grouped on one page more for convenience than belief they are a single species. I suspect your animals are most like the Top Right photo at the Top of the Page.

We will need some animals to look at before they can be sorted out.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
