Stiliger aureomarginatus - new record for Heron Island

November 28, 2007
From: Julie Marshall


Dear Bill,

Attached is a photo of Stiliger aureomarginatus which I found out on the reef crest at Heron Island [Great Barrier Reef] yesterday on a clump of Codium. This is a first record from Heron Island. The photos of the animals you have on the forum at present all have yellow tips to their cerata but in this animal they were bright orange.

Locality: Heron Island, Intertidal, Queensland, Australia, Pacific, 24 November 2007, Intertidal. Length: 8 mm. Photographer: Julie Marshall.

Best wishes,
Julie Marshall

Dear Julie,

Thanks for the record. It is certainly on a Codium. My guess is Codium mamillosum, but we would need an expert to confirm.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
