Dolabrifera dolabrifera from New Caledonia

From: Bill Rudman


Here is a mottled pink and brown specimen of Dolabrifera dolabrifera from New Caledonia.

Lagoon between mainland & Récif de l'Infernet, 20°35.6'S, 164°15.2'E, 10-11m, off Koumac, New Caledonia, sand & grey mud, 28 October 1983, 38mm long alive, AM C200686. Photos: Bill Rudman

Like all Dolabrifera it was very cryptically coloured. The lower photo shows a few of the compound filaments on its mantle.

Best wishes
