Halgerda formosa - colour variation [3]

January 7, 2004
From: Yves Coze

Here are some more of Yves Coze's photos showing colour variation in Halgerda formosa he and his colleagues have spotted in Reunion Island. "They were all spotted either in "Cap La Houssaye" or "Abri Cotier" which are two diving spots separated by approx 4 km. Composition of the spot are the same, Rocky area with various sandy and coral area".

As I wanted to keep the images reasonably large I have separated them into a number of separate messages [see message 1, message 2, message 4]. I am sure they are all one species and so show the variability found in Halgerda formosa. As I have often said, extra photos are never a waste. In this case we now have an excellent idea of the variation to be found in this species. I have discussed the variation in a separate message.
