Halgerda carlsoni from Malaysia
August 8, 2003
From: Francis & Pirjo Pellet
Dear Bill,
We found these Halgerda in Kapalai, Malaysia, 22nd of May 2003. Dive site "Mantis Ground", depth 14m. It seems to us that we have two different species. Could the photo here be of Halgerda carlsoni ( size 4 cm) and the one in the separate message be Halgerda batangas ( size 7 cm).
Best regards.

Dear Francis & Pirjo,
Yes this is Halgerda carlsoni, and your other photos are of Halgerda batangas. It's nice to get a photo of Halgerda with its gills fully extended, because it shows how sparse the pinnae are on the gills of species of this genus.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
