RFM5PFKP–The harlequin shrimp (Hymenocera elegans: 5 cms.) has highly distinctive colouring. The species is usually encountered in pairs on coral reefs, but this individual was by itself on top of a boulder which was covered by an encrusting sponge (Spirastrella cunctatrix). There are petal-like antennules on the shrimp's head, which enable it to 'smell' starfish, which are the species' sole prey. They turn the starfish on its back and then eat the tube feet and soft tissues. They are very sensitive to temperature changes and are becoming increasingly rare, due to global warming. Bali, Indonesia.

RFM58W0R–In May 2017, I was looking for animals amongst the underwater deposits from the 1963/64 eruption of the Balinese volcano Mount Agung, which had resulted in over 1,000 deaths. I noticed that a number of basalt rocks were covered by an encrusting sponge of the species Spirastrella cunctatrix, forming a very striking pattern. I should add that the Balinese where I was staying greeted the volcano daily - as it is regarded as holy - adding a prayer that it would remain 'sleeping'. In any event, it woke up at the end of 2017 and created considerable alarm - though a full eruption did not take place.

In fact, had the characters of the embryos been overlooked, we should have had in Tedania a similar position to that presented by Vosmaer (1911) in his study of Spirastrella purpurea (Lamarck), a
