Juvenile Cerberilla annulata from Lizard Id

Dear Bill,
Here is a small pale Cerberilla which we think may be the same as the darker ones in our other message. It was found during November - December 2003 with the dark species on a sandy bottom in 2-5m depths at Lizard Island (QLD, Australia). Body length 7-10mm.
Regards
Nils

Thanks Nils,
I am pretty sure this is a juvenile of Cerberilla annulata. If you look at the phoptos on the Forum you will see the body proportions change quite considerably as the animal grows in size.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
