Concerning message #16652:

Dear Bill,
Thanks for publishing my Lomanotus picture. You are right: it was not on Nemertesia antennina but on N. ramosa

About red Lomanotus, I haven't seen any this year, but some "white"  specimens had a pink-pale red - translucent color. I didn't see anything that would explain that during my dives because they were all in the same place.

Best wishes
Hervé Limouzin

Dear Hervé,
Thanks for checking the hydroid identification. Your inormation on finding the colour forms together would suggest the colour difference is genetic rather than the result of some environmental influence or food additive, but clearly it is another thing to put on our list of things 'to do'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
