Tritonia hamnerorum from the West Indies

From: Anne DuPont
Hi Bill,
I first photographed Tritonia hamnerorum in the Florida Keys about 15 years ago. When I started getting serious I researched it and found a paper by Dr. Greg Cornin regarding a population outbreak of Tritonia hamnerorum in the Keys a few years later. http://carbon.cudenver.edu/~gcronin/tritonia.htm
Mike Miller put one of the Keys photos up as a BOW. http://siolibrary.ucsd.edu/slugsite/nudwk190.htm
In July last year while diving in the Cayman Islands, I found one large sea fan covered with Tritonia hamnerorum. This was the only one in a week of diving.
Date: July, 2001
Depth: 30 feet
Size: 1/4 to 1/2 inch
Photo taken: Little Cayman, British West Indies
Dive Site: Bloody Bay
Cordially,
Anne
