Sketches of Haminoea #78 cymbalum?

From: Lindsay Warren

Dear Bill
Thanks for your email. The two lots of Haminoea weren't found on the soft coral featured in the shots. They were both found on dead branching coral which
was covered in algae. Please find attached the sketches as requested.

All the best
Lindsay

Dear Warren,
Thanks for the sketches. Clay Carlson & Patty Jo Hoff have just corrected my suggestion that your two animals are Haminoea cymbalum. They identify this as an unnamed, unidentified species of Haminoea. See their messages concerning Haminoea ovalis, Haminoea cymbalum (? = Haminoea simillima) and Haminoea sp. 1.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.


NOTE: Here is a repeat of the collection data and photo from Lindsay's original message which I have left with H. cymbalum: Tukang Besi Islands,
[Sulawesi, Indonesia - Operation Wallacea ] 1998. #78 - Length: 9 mm. White shell with orange spots. Mantle orange with white
spots and orange spots. White centre to posterior foot. They were found on dead
branching coral which was covered in algae.
