Hi Bill,
Found this tiny furry looking nudi on some almost disintegrated cloth on the reef, hope u can help to identify with my photo attached. Didnt get a good picture as there was a bit of current & this creature is a really tiny for my IXUS500 without macro lens!
Gone thru the whole forum but couldnt even find anything close to it....
Locality: Arthur's Rock, Anilao, Philippines. South China Sea. Depth: 20-25 metres. Length: Abt 1. 5cm. 29 Apr 2005. Reef. Photographer: Joanne Pun
Thanks
Joanne

This is Aegires villosus. The photo is a bit out of focus but I am posting it because it is an example of this unusual yellow-orange background colour
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
