Hello Billie,
thanks for kind mail. Where exactly is that Molgula photo? I could not find
it. I will check if I have any. Meanwhile, here are two sample of what I have:
a lovely blue grape-like species from the Cape Verde islands and
a small yellow-orange (Pycno)clavella ? from Greece.
C. Monniot refused to even give a guess for the first. The specialist for
mediterranean clavellinids, Brunetti, does either not answer or answer with
a delay of about a year.
I also attach an article published pretty much in this form in 1998 as
Twelve invertebrate and eight fish species new to the
marine fauna of Madeira, and a discussion of the
zoogeography of the area. Helgol. Meeresunt. 52, 197-207
Cheers,
Peter
