Syphonota geographica from northern Bali

January 31, 2007
From: Danny van Belle


I think this is Syphonota geographica. It is pretty common at divesite Puri jati - North Bali.

It is sometimes found crawling around in daytime but when disturbed by videolights it tries to hide under the sand.

Locality: Puri Jati - Bali, 12 m, Indonesia, Indian ocean, 16 august 2006, Algea covered sandy area. Length: 8-10 cm. Photographer: Danny van Belle - Stephen Childs.
