Dear Dr.Rudman and Kathe R. Jensen,
I've got a email from Yasuhiro Shirai and he told me that this animal may be Hermaea zosterae which is already on the Forum. These two animals look almost
the same, especialy around the face and the renal sac.
Best Regards,

Dear Nishina,
I think Yasuhiro Shirai is correct. How can such a small animal cause such a big confusion! When I look at your first photo it is crawling on Zostera, after which it was named, or a very similar green alga. I will move it to its correct page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
