Hi Dr. Rudman.
Here is another puzzle from New Zealand. It was about 3mm long and seen at 8m. It was also from the Poor Knights Islands [north-eastern New Zealand].

Dear Gareth,
This is another interesting find. Almost certainly a tropical visitor. I am afraid these reddish spotted polycerids are a bit of a mess to idntify at present. Your animal look very like one in Stuart Hutchison's photos from Papua New Guinea. So if you want a label for it I am afraid 'polycerid sp' might be as far as I am willing to go at present.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
