Costasiella sp. 3? from Bali
November 30, 2006

Dear Bill
I think this is Costasiella sp. 3? I found several, all on the same type of algae, very small and tough to photograph. Here are two shots, one with what appears to be two color variations.
Locality: Puri Jati, Bali, 20 feet, Indonesia, 2 September 2006, Muck. Length: very small. Photographer: Linda Ianniello.
Regards,
Linda I.

Dear Linda,
This species seems to be quite variable in colour, but I suspect the difference in 'greenness' - if there is such word - may be to do with how much algal material is in the digestive gland branches in the cerata.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
