Re: Cratena sp. 1 from South Africa

Dear Bill,

It was great to see Valda's photo of the Cratena from South Africa. It is clearly distinct from Cratena capensis for the reasons you noted. C. capensis does indeed have angular rather than tentacular foot corners. It looks more like Cratena sp. 2 in my South African book.
Unfortunately that was based on a single somewhat damaged specimen. Also the photo was not great. It is clearly not any of the described species.

All the best,
Terry.
