Fryeria marindica from Thailand

April 28, 2000
From: Narongpon Sittithaweepat

Dear Bill
I am not sure whether this specimen is Fryeria rueppelii . I found it in 50-60 feet at Surin Island. Its size is 3 cm. So could you please identify it for me.
Thank you for your kindness again

Dear Narongpon,
Your animal is a Fryeria, but according to Brunckhorst's review, F. rueppelii is found only in the Red Sea. Your animal is Fryeria marindica which has a widespread distribution throughout the Indian Ocean.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
