Plocamopherus ceylonicus from Western Australia

April 27, 2007
From: Bruce Potter

Dear Bill,

I found quite a few of these Plocamopherus ceylonicus on my recent trip to Rockingham. They were out at 18 metres on the sand, and this one was under a jetty in muck. This one would have been about 20 mm and very well camophlaged in the weed on the jetty pylon.

Locality: Rockingham, 7 metres, Western Australia, Indian Ocean, 24 February 2007, Mucky under Jetty. Length: 20 mm. Photographer: Bruce Potter.

Regards
Bruce Potter.
