Dear Bill,
Please see the attached photo.
I found this animal on the algae. It looks very like Hermaea bifida to me, but I'm not sure. Please advice.

Date : March 2002
Depth : 5m
Size : 10mm

Best regards,

Dear Shouichi,
It certainly looks like the Atlantic Hermaea bifida but hopefully Kathe Jensen can give us her opinion on this species
Best wishes,
