Aegires hapsis found sthrn Queensland

Hi Bill and everyone!
Here are some photos of Aegires hapsis we found here on the Sunshine Coast. Though quite small this was an interesting find. I also believe it could be a new record for Australia.
Locality: Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, 18 m, Queensland, Australia, Pacific Ocean, 19 March 2005, Subtidal. Length: 8 mm. Photographer: Gary Cobb.
Cheers

Dear Gary,
This is a nice find. It certainly looks like the photos I have seen of A. hapsis, which until now has only been recorded from Okinawa. This certainly gives it a much wider distribution.
Best wishes,
