Sakuraeolis nungunoides from Tanzania

May 10, 2003
From: Bill Rudman


Here is a photo on one of the specimens of Sakuraeolis nungunoides I collected in from Tanzania. They were found feeding on two hydroids, Salacia tetracythara and Eudendrium sp. cf. carneum.

North Reef, entrance to harbour, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. 29 September 1977. On hydroid covered wooden piles supporting sewerage pipe. Paratype, 40mm long alive. AM C111490.

In this photograph the cerata are atypically short, but it shows the normal colour pattern. Sometmes when stressed the cerata contract like this temporarily.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
