Dear Dr Rudman
Thank you for your welcome advice every time.

I think this is Ilbia mariana Hoff & Carlson, 1990. What do you think?

Locality: Laulau Beach, 6m, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, Pacific Ocean, 30 March 2006, Coral gravel back. Length: 2-3 mm. Photographer: Takao Urasawa

Dear Takao,
Yes this must surely be I. mariana. The colour pattern is very distinctive. There are very few records of this species every new one is very welcome
Best wishes,
