Phidiana bourailli from Marshall Ids

Hi Bill,
Here are three views of Phidiana bourailli from the Marshall Islands. It was a relatively common species under dead coral rocks at depths of 2-5 meters in the lagoon of Enewetak Atoll. These animals were all less than 10mm in stretched-out length. Seems to be related to Phidiana anulifera and P. semidecora.
Scott.

Thanks Scott,
There seem to be a group of similarly coloured species. It is interesting to see how white pigmentation, rather than black, dominates the ceratal colour in your animals. In the animals I found in Tanzania it was the reverse.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
