Hi Bill and everyone!
I wish to add to the Forum a newly described species previously known as Phyllodesmium sp. 2. We found this animal a little while ago and thought you might like to add it to the growing list of wonderful critters!

Locality: Old Woman Island, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, 12m, Queensland, Australia, Pacific Ocean, 05 December 2004, Subtidal. Length: 31mm. Photographer: Gary Cobb.

Cheers
Gary
