Dear Bernard,
Thanks for the photo. It's nice to have one of Tom's photos on the Forum. I often think that if he was still around he would have embraced the world wide web with his abundant enthusiasm. All the Forum needs now is some more of the many species of Trapania reported from the Mediterranean and adjacent waters,
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
