Hi Bill,

Attached are a couple of variations of Phyllidiella rosans from the Hawaiian Islands. I haven't yet seen this species in the Marshalls.

Dear Scott,
Thanks for the photos. According to Brunckhorst, 1993 this has a wide Indo-West Pacific distribution but paradoxically is recorded from only a few localities. For example, I know of no records from Australia, Indonesia or the Philippines, although one would expect to find it there. If anyone has photos, they could help fill in some gaps in our knowledge of this species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
