Hi Bill,

Here is another of Steve Grail's photos. It was taken off Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, southern Queensland, in 10-20m, between 1996 and 1998.

This is fairly common in eastern Australia on both the Great Barrier Reef and further south. It is also found at Lord Howe Island and Elizabeth Reef in the Coral Sea. Like Halgerda willeyi it has the typical Halgerda features of a smooth firm body, with distinct ridges on the mantle which often form nodules at the junction of the ridges. There are few gills and they are long and only sparsely lamellate. This species is white with large orange patches. ... Bill Rudman
