Armina semperi from Thailand

September 4, 2008
From: Lawrence Neal

Hi Bill,

Here are a few pictures of an Armina sp. from the Gulf of Thailand. I think it's Armina semperi.

The pictures were taken during the daytime in a sandy, sheltered bay, around 11 metres deep. Several species of sea pen also live in the area.

Locality: Koh Sark, Pattaya, 11 metres, Chonburi, Thailand, Gulf of Thailand, South China Sea, 10 August 2008, Sheltered bay with mixed sand and sediment. Length: 50 mm. Photographer: Lawrence Neal.

Best wishes,
Lawrence

Dear Lawrence,

Thanks for these photos. It is certainly the animal I am calling Armina semperi. I have included a few 'close-ups' to show the detail of the head and rhinophores.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
