Halgerda wasinensis from South Africa

April 14, 2003
From: Riaan Marx

Here is another specimen of Halgerda wasinensis photographed on 7 mile reef at Sodwana Bay, South Africa. It is about 25mm in length (1 inch). Depth was about 17m (50 feet) and the picture was taken on 29 March 2003.

The reef is predominantly soft coral with hard coral filling up the wholes and prolific fish and other animal life. The bottom is quite sandy with a lot of sand also washed onto the hard coral patches. This was one of my first attempts at macro photography so the quality is not as good as some of the others shown, but I thought I’d send it in anyway…

Thanks Riaan,
Welcome to the Forum, and thanks for a record of an uncommon species. I am glad you decided to send your photo in. The Forum is not a photo contest. A photo which is good enough to allow us to identify the animal is much more value than no photo at all.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
