Hi Bill,
Here is an interesting animal I found while diving at a secret bit of reef known as Triple J. I have not seen this species of Ceratosoma before and thought I would share it with you and the viewers. Do you think it is C. trilobatum or C. tenue?
Locality: North Moreton Island, Queensland, Australia. Depth: 18 m. Length: 95 mm.13 November 2004. Outer reef. Photographer: Gary Cobb

Dear Gary,
Species of Ceratosoma all seem to be quite variable in colour, but I must say this is a pretty spectacular example. Apart from the red spots, it fits C. trilobatum well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
