The above animals have lost most of their cerata, while the animals below are whole.


These two (above and below) 14 mm animals were found at Wait-a-while Mooloolaba Queensland Australia
On the hydroid they are extremely hard to see.






Note the (ventral view) way the foot attaches the animal to the stem of the hydroid.
It holds on very strongly!
