Doto floridicola from French Mediterranean

From: Patrick Heurtaux

Dear Bill,

Here are two photos of Doto floridicola, I took in the Baie de Peyrefitte (near the mediterranean French/Spanish border), in 3m deep, in June.
The first was 3mm long and was laying its eggs on Aglaophenia sp. The second was 4mm long and I have include my finger in the pic to give a good representation of the real size of the Doto.

Best regards.

Thanks Patrick,
There are few illustrations of this species available so it's nice to get your photos showing it on its food hydroid.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
