Hydatina amplustre from Lau Islands, Fiji

Hi Bill
We did not see you after our Lau expedition and before returning to Canada, so here is an open question to your forum. We found this very small cephalaspid (probably less than 2 cm) on Toubou reef flat in Lakeba, Lau Islands. We can't place it using the pictures on the forum, so perhaps you have a clue.
Locality: Toubou reef flat, 0-1 m, Lakeba, Lau Islands, Fiji, Pacific, Aug. 18, 2007, sandy inner reef flat. Length: 2 cm
All the best,
Peter and Lisa

This is Hydatina amplustre. Usually there a two pink bands across the shell, but they can be quite faint, and in this case absent.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
