Ceratosoma brevicaudatum from eastern Australa

May 14, 2003
From: Sue Newson

I found this Ceratosoma brevicaudatum at the Docks in Jervis Bay [eastern Australia] on 4 February 2003 at 2.20pm, although the viz was so bad, a lot of nocturnal animals were out feeding. I found it at a depth of 20m, water temp 20*C. It was the only one, about 6cm, and moving.

Never seen this species in Jervis Bay before or since.

Thanks Sue,
This species seems to be more common in southern Australia [Victoria, Tasmania, S. Australia] than it does in eastern Australia.
Best wishes,
