Haminoea cyanomarginata from Eilat

Hi Bill,
Late last year when the Forum was not working  [7-Oct-2004]  I found this animal which looks to be some kind of Atys. It was found in a dive site called "The Satil" (named after a wreck that can be found there. "Satil" means missile ship in Hebrew), at a depth of 25 meter (according to my diving computer) [Eilat, Israel, Red Sea].

 I found three of them together, each one was about 0.5 cm long.

Dear Oren,
This 'Atys' is very interesting. It is Haminoea cyanomarginata, which was originally described from the Sudanese Red Sea but has not been seen again until we got some reports from Turkey! So its good to get another record of it closer to its 'home'. Species of Atys are closely related to Haminoea. They usually have a more heavily calicified shell and some internal anatomical differences.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
