Concerning message #16698:

Dear Bill,
Roland Pieper of our group was able to identify a Ceratosoma alleni in a pose strongly suggestive of a solitary soft coral growth.  The configuration of the foot is especially interesting in this regard. It was also found recently at Puerto Galera, in the Philippines.

Happenstance? I doubt it!

Thanks Michael,
If the gills and rhinophores weren't showing I am sure this photo could cause a few arguments about the identity of the organism.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
