Trapania sp. 6 from Borneo

Note added 12 March 2008: This species has been named Trapania scurra 

Hi,

I have took this picture in March 2003 in Kapalai, Borneo on 17 meters. It was about 5mm long. I cannot find its name. Has anyone seen it before somewhere else?

Best regards

Dear Robert,
This is an unnamed species of Trapania which I am calling Trapania sp. 6 on the Forum. From the way its mouth seems to be extended it looks like its food is nearby. Have a look at Takako Uno's message for some photos and discussion on its probable food.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
