Taringa caudata from Reunion Island

Concerning message #19892:

Dear Bill,
Here are some pictures of the first Taringa caudata from Reunion Island. It was identified by Philibert Bidgrain. The gills branches are white and rhinophores seems to be dark-purple, probably because I used a high quality torche (efficiency 150 watts and 18 leds) with a very white light. I hope it's interesting for the Forum and it's always the same part of Indian Ocean.

Locality: Etang-Salé "Rocky Coast", 1 metre, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 16 december 2008, Midnight. Length: 25 mm . Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.

Best regards.
Hugues.

Thanks Hugues,

It's great to get another record of this easily recognisable - but apparently uncommon species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
