Thanks Marina,
This species is a good example of how contributors to the Forum are giving us a better understanding of these animals. Until a couple of years ago this species was known from only two records in scientific papers. From messages to the Forum, it seems that far from being rare, this species is quite common in the Red Sea.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
