Phyllidiella cooraburrama from Fiji

July 17, 2003
From: Mary Jane Adams


Hi Bill,
Here are a couple of candidates for Phyllidiella cooraburrama. They are both from from North Save a Tack Passage, Namena Island, Fiji.

The upper one was about 22mm long and about 18 meters deep. I photographed it on May 17, 2003. It seems to be enjoying a meal of orange sponge.

The lower one was about 24mm long and 21 meters deep. I shot it on May 18, 2003.

Best regards,
Mary Jane

Thanks Mary Jane,
I'm pretty sure these are Phyllidiella cooraburrama. As I said about your photo from Truk Lagoon, the combination of characters are fairly unique.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
