Keith Hiscock ?Lomanotus genei - what do you think? I photo'd one at the same location (West Hoe, Plymouth Sound) in February 2006 but that was red with yellow tips. This image (not quite in focus) taken yesterday evening. Very rarely seen by me in Plymouth area.
Jim Anderson Yes I agree - Lomanotus genei - looks like a nice big specimen
Terry Griffiths Yes Keith had a few of them at E Kings this year just off the left side of the cable where it meets the sand
Gonçalo Calado nice species. Never saw one alive
Ross Bullimore Yup that's the one. Saw both colour morphs on a dive with Bernard Picton on Thorn Rock Skomer (only spot I've seen these) an asked the same question then!
Kate Lock We have also recorded a 3rd colour morph at Skomer - a creamy peachy one....so keep your eyes open for that too! http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ccw.gov.uk%2Fidoc.ashx%3Fdocid%3Dda531252-994c-4a68-ad51-d23f209505a9%26version%3D-1%26lang%3Den&h=xAQHavV3oAQG2tMmxVLjdiUuOm5EIHK8B5qJRzFtVX3apmg
Kate Lock Sorry was meant to say you can see all 3 colour variations on page 21 on the Skomer report link above...
