HI Bill,

Attached is an image from the Lord Howe Island Fauna Survey, 1987 I'm not sure about. It was collected in Oct 1987. The survey was organised by Neville Coleman who probably donated some of the specimens to the museum.

Thanks Wayne,
To those of you who don't know the geography of eastern Australia very well, Lord Howe Island is about 1000k northeast of Sydney in the Tasman Sea, and has some of the most southerly coral reefs. Although the marine fauna has the usual mix of tropical and temperate species, there is also a proportion of species which are endemic to an area bounded by Lord Howe Island, northern New South Wales, and some oceanic reefs off Queensland.

This species is one of the colour forms of the tropical species, Nembrotha kubaryana.

Bill Rudman.
