Concerning message #20739:

Dear Bill and Colin,

Sorry I cannot put a name on this species. However, it seems to be the same as the unidentified Volvatella sp. that I collected in Singapore in 2006. It was very small, so I don't have a good picture - except some that were not taken by me but by a lab-assistant at the Marine Lab. The only difference is that the posterior shell spout is shorter in the Singapore specimen, but this is probably due to smaller size. I only got one specimen so I decided not to make a description. Singapore is somewhere I expect I can go back to at some point and hopefully collect more specimens. It is good to know that it occurs elsewhere as well.

Best wishes,
Kathe
