Rhopalaea sp. Bianca, Lembeh.<br />
Seriously frustrating to see all these species without proper classification. But what can we expect, given the little funding marine biologists and taxonomists probably get for their hard work :-/ <br />
Hope they will be classifiable in the near future. Geotagged,Indonesia,Lembeh,Rhopalaea,Spring,ascidian,tunicate Click/tap to enlarge

  1. Such delicate tunicates! And, not to mention that there appears to be so many organisms in this picture! The ocean is constant source of awe <3 Posted 6 years ago
    1. You are right on the many neighbors. I see a soft coral on the right side (maybe Tubipora sp.), some algae at the bottom, another tiny green tunicate in the middle (maybe Diademnum sp.) and encrusted sponges on the left....so indeed a large community in the pic! :-) Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
