From: W.B. Rudman


Here are photos of two animals I am identifying as Phyllidiopsis burni from John Hicks' Christmas Island, Indian Ocean collections. As far as I can find this species has not previously been recorded from the Indian Ocean.

PHOTOS: Upper: AM C126505, 13 November 1980, south arm of Cantilever, 7.5m, on coral rock, 46 mm long alive Christmas Is., Indian Ocean.
Lower: AM C126504, 13 November 1980, south arm of Cantilever, 7.5m, on coral rock, 25 mm long alive, Christmas Is., Indian Ocean. Photos: John Hicks

Best wishes,
