Stiliger aureomarginatus found sthn Queensland [1]

Hi Bill and everyone!
Please find pics of our 321st species here on the Sunshine Coast ... Stiliger aureomarginatus. Small on the side of what appears to be green algae. I was wondering if you could ID the algae.

Locality: Old Woman Island, Sunshine Coast, 15 m, Queensland, Australia, Pacific Ocean, 29 September 2007, Subtidal. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: Gary Cobb.

Cheers
Gary Cobb

Thanks Gary,

Nice to fill in another gap. Concerning the green algae, this species has been reported on species of Codium and although I can't see enough detail to be sure, I suspect the algae in your photo is a species of Codium as well.

These photos show the rolled rhinophores and the single unbranched digestive gland duct in each ceras, which are both characters of the genus Stiliger.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
