Here's another very cryptic critter, Crosslandia daedali. Wow! it was amazing how Alicia Hermosillo found these guys, which were so well camouflaged.

Locality: Los Arcos, Puerto Vallarta, 25fsw, Mexico, East Pacific, 04 July 2009, Rocky Reef. Length: 1/2 inch. Photographer: Kevin Lee.

Cheers, K:-)

Dear Kevin,

It's nice to get some more photos of this strange dendronotoidean. I have included a close-up to show how the region between the 'parapodial flaps' is covered in finely branching gills

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
