Dear Dr Rudman
Thank you for your welcome advice every time.
I think this is Ilbia mariana Hoff & Carlson, 1990. What do you think?
Locality: Laulau Beach, 6m, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, Pacific Ocean, 30 March 2006, Coral gravel back. Length: 2-3 mm. Photographer: Takao Urasawa

Yes this must surely be I. mariana. The colour pattern is very distinctive. There are very few records of this species every new one is very welcome
