Umbraculum umbraculum from Indonesia

January 6, 2003
From: Mary Jane Adams


Hi Bill,
Here are some images of Umbraculum umbraculum from Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.

I photographed the upper one on a night dive on a silty sand slope called Hairball in August, 200l. I shot the other two images on the night of November 20, 2002, at the same divesite. Both animals were about 15cm long and about 5 meters deep. Although I photographed them 15 months apart, I suspect they are the same specimen. In the Nov. 2002 picture the shell is elevated, revealing the eyespots and a bit of the gills.

Best regards,
Mary Jane
