Hi Bill,

I found this little gem crawling over a sand slope in Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was 16 mm long. Divesite: Hairball.

Thanks Mary Jane,
It's interesting how consistent the colour pattern on the headshield is - two pairs of yellow lines and a pair of elongate cream patches in the midline are present in most of the photos, although sometimes well hidden.
