Favorinus japonicus and F. tsuruganus together

Dear Bill,

Here is a photo where we can see two Favorinus tsuruganus and two Favorinus japonicus. One F. japonicus is behind the egg band and we can only see a small part of its rhinophores.

Locality: Hwa Soon, South Korea. Depth: 4 m. Length: Several mm. 17 Nov. 2004. Sandy bottom with Rock Wall. Photographer: Youn Byung Ro

Best regards,

Dear Koh,
I'm glad you mentioned the second animal of F. japonicus or I think I would have missed it. I have included a close-up to show it, alongside. The photo shows the quite differently shaped rhinophores of each species very well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
