Phyllidia varicosa mimic
November 15, 2002
From: Rosalind Day
I am currently researching the Holothuroidean Bohadschia graffei and am trying to gather information on the juveniles which mimic Phyllidia varicosa. I did not find any juveniles in Wakatobi Marine National Park, south east Sulawesi, Indonesia where my research was carried out. If any one has any information on sightings of juveniles from anywhere I would love to hear from you.
Many Thanks

Wolfgang Seifarth's photo shows just how remarkable this mimicry is.
