Halimeda opuntia
(Linnaeus) J.V.Lamouroux, 1816
Colin Redfern A 10mm specimen of
Cyerce habanensis Ortea & Templado, 1989 from Abaco, Bahamas, where it is found exclusively on
Halimeda opuntia. Species synonymized under Cyerce antillensis by Valdés et al. (2006), but I believe it to be distinct.
Anne Diver Colin, I will check my Bahama photos of Cyerce antillensis and see if I have a match to your guy...
