Dear Bill,
Here are some photos of a very nice Halgerda from Mauritius. Is it Halgerda formosa? This animal looks like the one on the Bergh’s picture.

Pereybere, Mauritius, Indian Ocean. Site: Le Grand Aquarium. Depth: 10m. Size: about 3cm. October 17, 2002 Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia - Nembro website

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
Your animals certainly look like Bergh's illustration and certainly fit the description of H. formosa. A very useful addition to our knowledge about these animals
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
