Tenellia? sp. e315
4mm

These are two of the only three specimens found of this species. There were all found on an Enewetak lagoon pinnacle at a depth of about 12 meters at night. All three were on the pictured hydroid, tentatively identified as a species of Sertularia. They were quite small, the largest only 4mm long. The genus is just a guess based on external morphology, as the internal anatomy has not been examined. These may be small individuals of what we are calling Tenellia? sp. e128.
