Phyllodesmium briareum from Papua New Guinea
July 8, 2002
From: John Chuk
Dear Bill,
Here are images of Phyllodesmium briareum found at Pig Island, Madang, Papua New Guinea on August 12, 1996. I counted 23 specimens on a colony of the soft coral Pachyclavularia violacea that was found on a reef flat at a depth of 2m. P. briareum was also found on other nearby colonies of the soft coral.
The first image is an in situ shot of several specimens on the soft coral. The second image is of a specimen 17mm in length removed from the soft coral. This specimen appears fairly well stocked with zooxanthellae.
Best wishes,
John.
