Fryeria rueppelii from Oman

March 24, 2007
From: Brian Mayes

Dear Bill,

Having read the posts concerning the distribution of Fryeria rueppelii outside the Red Sea. I attach a couple of photos of what I think is Fryeria rueppelii taken recently on a dive site called "Bill's Bump" at Fahal Island, near Muscat, Oman.

Locality: Fahal Island, 11 metres, Muscat, Oman, Gulf of Oman, 23 February 2007, Reef. Length: 2 to 3 cm. Photographer: Brian Mayes.

Kind Regards
Brian Mayes

Thanks Brian,
Yes this is that species. It is good to get more data to confirm that it is found outside the Red Sea.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
