Lomanotus genei Verany, 1846
27 July 2003
On the east shore of Loch Linnhe, south of Eilean Balnagowan, on the west
coast.
At 16.5 metres in 13° C water. This 90 mm (approx.) animal was found
perched on top of this hydroid with a yellow egg mass nearby which may be it's spawn. A second animal of
similar size, again near a similar spawn mass, was seen about 30 metres
away at the same depth.
Olympus C-2020 in PT-010 housing with Nikonos 105 flash.
