Leslie 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Benthic ctenophore, Coeloplana meteoris. Did you see the feeding tentacles coming out of the two lobes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_Mustard 0 Posted October 6, 2005 They are reasonably common on the muck sites in Bali - saw them in several places on the North Coast. My guess was benthic ctenophore, but nobody in my group was convinced! Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

james 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Good to hear guys, thanks. Those ctenophores really get around! They have a gulf of mexico species that drifts midwater and lights up when it bumps into things... Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Judy Foester 0 Posted October 23, 2005 I found a Coeloplana tucked in the 'armpit' of a starfish at Wakatobi. Guess it was just a commensal hitchhiker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
