Siphopteron tigrinum? from the Philippines

June 15, 2001
From: Erwin Koehler

Dear Bill,
here is the first one of my recent trip to the Philippines, Cebu Island, Moalboal. It looks to me like Siphopteron tigrinum, but it can be something else as well. I found it upon a dead Acropora sp. coral at 4 m depth on May 27, 2001, divesite "Dolphin House". One photo shows the tip of my forefinger, so you can see it was pretty small, I guess 2-3 mm.

Dear Eriwn,
Yes this is Siphopteron tigrinum, and yes they are usually pretty small.
Best wishes,
