Hi There,
I photographed this specimen in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia on 27 October 2007. At this stage I can't remember the exact dive site, however it might have been "The Docks".
Locality: Jervis Bay, Huskisson, 15 m, New South Wales, Australia, Pacific Ocean, 27 October 2007. Photographer: James McMahon.
The main reason that I thought it might be interesting is that it appears to be the "blue form", and you had commented that this form was rarely seen as far south as Sydney. Although on a second look I could also be mistaken.
Thanks for your fantastic site.
James

We still have much to learn about about even the most simple aspects of the life of most species. Photo records like yours can help us slowly build up a better idea of their distribution.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
