Hopkinsia? or Okenia? sp.

Hi Bill,
Great idea - the web is supposed to be all about interaction and you've got it exactly right.
Thought you'd like a comment on the Hopkinsia/Okenia - this animal is illustrated as Okenia species 1 in Gosliner, Behrens and Williams' recent book on Indo Pacific Invertebrates. They describe it as feeding on a red bryozoan. Last September I was in SE Sulawesi with an expedition group called Operation Wallacea and my co-science officer Monica Sullivan started finding these animals and we collected a couple and their bryozoan - we were most disappointed on returning to see that Gosliner had beaten us to it as we had already nicknamed it Okenia monica!
