Dear Bill,

['carr' is a local word for these underwater rocky reefs that do not break the surface]

Thanks Jim,
The white line between the two rhinophore pockets seems to be a chracteristic of this species. It makes me wonder if the animal Michel Barrabés photos in Erwin Koehler's message [#6270] is the same species. Perhaps there is a faint trace of the white line, I am not sure
Best wishes
