Chelidonura livida from Red Sea

April 16, 2002
From: Marina Poddubetskaia

Dear Bill,
At the end of March I spent a week in Egypt. It was a dive cruise at the North of Red Sea, between Hurghada and Sinai mountains. All the joined photos come from there.

Could you confirm this is Chelidonura livida please?
Data: about 5 cm, 19 March 2002, unknown site, North Red Sea, 5-7m depth

I saw this cephalaspidean only at this site. There was nothing but the sand, everywhere, and a lot of these guys : some dozens at least in a small area. Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Marina
