Characterised by the yellow spots on the gills.
Gosliner said: "Most interesting find! pretty sure these are not H. obscura, which lacks any spots on the gill.
It is closest to H. confetti, but I think it might actually be something uniquely different.
In this case we need to sequence a specimen to be sure. Let's make a plan to do that."
