Philinopsis sp. 1 from Sulawesi

September 24, 2003
From: Paul Whitehead

Dear Dr. Rudman,
This was spotted on September 12th at Lembeh Straits [northern Sulawesi, Indonesia] in 8m meters of water on tiered rocks with light coral and sponge cover. I have not been able to identify it and was hoping you could help?

Length is approx 6 cm.

Thanks
Paul

Dear Paul,
This is an unnamed species of which I have on the Forum as Philinopsis sp. 1. The previous records on the Forum are from Okinawa, so this find of yours certainly increases its known distribution.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
