Dear Bill
Please can you tell me what kind of Aldisa this is. I'm not sure if it is a variation of Aldisa sp. 4, or a separate species.

Location: Sodwana, South Africa, 15m
Date: January 2002
Size: 12mm
Thanks

Dear Valda,
Just looking at the photos I would say this animal is probably a colour variant of Aldisa sp. 4, but we could only be sure when their anatomy is looked at and more specimens - and possibly an intermediate - are found.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
