Dear Joe,
I am pretty sure this is H. willeyi. It ceratinly looks like an animal I studied from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (Rudman, 1978). There are very few records of this species from the Red Sea, or anywhere in the Indian Ocean so this is a useful addition to our knowledge. It is interesting to compare it with the photo in Tom Turk's message [#3301] of a very similar looking 'out-of-place' animal in the Adriatic.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
