Dear Bill,
Here is a sketch made by volunteers, as a photo is not available. The animal was found in the Tukang Besi Islands of SE Sulawesi, Indonesia, as part of the Operation Wallacea project
5-6mm in length. Found on dead branching Acropora. Mantle has a distinct white rim followed by a lemon-lime green tinted band and largely transparent central notum with orange-pink tint coming through from inside the animal. Retractile lamellate rhinophores. 5 simple transparent branches to branchial plume.
