Hi Bill,

I traveled to Indonesia (Raja Empat islands) in November 2004; I've attached a picture of a what I think is Phyllodesmium sp. 5 as it appears there aren't a lot of pictures of them in your archive.

Dear Mike,
Thanks for the photo. It is either Phyllodesmium sp. 5 or Phyllodesmium sp. 6. I guess it depends whether the white spots in Phyllodesmium sp. 6 rather than white lines are significant.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
