Concerning message #22437:
Dear Dr. Bill,
In January 2010 trip to Poshitra I found 12 individuals, feeding on hydroids at Poshitra reef. As it is a Marine Protected Area since 1982, the collection of specimen is banned. We first recorded the species in November 2009. However the density of this species seems to be high during winters, where the water temperature is 20 degree C. The hydroid species found on this particular reef area seems to be unique.
Locality: Patchy reef, 15 cm, Gujarat, India, Gulf of Kutch, 12 January 2010, Intertidal rockpool. Length: 28 mm. Photographer: Dishant Parasharya.
Thanks
