Cratena? sp. e651
5mm

This may be a species of Cratena, somewhat similar to the one we are calling Cratena cf affinis but differing in having more orange marks on the body and sides, and had rhinophores that appear to be a combination of papillate and annulate. This individual was found on hydroids at night in a seaward reef cave at a depth of about 15m and appeared to have damaged cephalic tentacles.
