Flabellina exoptata - Abnormality

August 17, 2007
From: Kerem Turker

Hi Bill,
This little guy was on a hydroid branch feeding while I took the picture. After detail analysis of the picture I have realized that the rhinophores are not on their usual shape, like intermingled to form a single unit. Hope this will be useful for the Abnormalities page.

Locality: Misool Island - Raja Ampat, 6 m, Indonesia, SW Pacific Ocean, 21 March 2007, Shallow Reef . Length: Less than 1 cm. Photographer: Kerem Turker.

Regards,
Kerem
