Costasiella sp. 1 from Hawaii

February 6, 2002
From: Cory Pittman

Dear Bill,
This probably extends the range of Costasiella sp. 1 to Hawaii. The animal in the photo was collected at Hekili Point, Maui on June 1, 1991. It was in an algae wash taken at a depth of less than one meter in a semi-protected back-reef habitat. It was 4.5 mm in length. I've only seen the species twice. The other was an even smaller animal collected in a similar habitat at the same site on Oct. 13, 2000.

Best wishes,
Cory

Thanks Cory,
It certainly looks the same.
