Ceratosoma sinuata from Clovelly, Sydney

October 24, 2000
From: Donata P. & Akos L.


Dear Bill,

Here is the Ceratosoma sinuata that we mentioned in our recent message. Location: Shark Point, Clovelly, Sydney [New South Wales, Australia] Dec 1998 -April 1999. The grey sponge upon which the specimens are has had up to six specimens of both "sinuata" and "magnifica" colour forms the same few months. No camera handy at the time of course. TYPICAL.

Anyway, if we find them again on the same rock shortly, it will be three years in a row!!!!!
Regards
Akos & Donata

Note added 30 April 2007: Until now on the Forum C. sinuata and C. flavicostata have been considered forms of one species. See message #19854 where they and C. magnifica are considered separate species.

Thanks Akos & Donata,
I'll post your photos of the other colour form tomorrow. This green form is characterised by the white spots on the gills.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
