* Phestilla sp. 3 Figure 21H
Material examined.
One specimen 3 mm, HWB.
Ecology.
Recorded from a single individual found during sampling of the rare octocoral Nanipora (Urgell Plaza et al. 2018). The individual was recorded from the skeleton, among polyps of the coral itself. Depth 7 m.
Distribution.
Unknown.
Remarks.
Very similar to Phestilla subodiosa, which is considered an obligate feeder of Montipora sp. corals. While Montipora corals were observed in the vicinity, the present sample was observed upon Nanipora, although no feeding or egg masses were observed. The specimen has smooth rhinophores and oral tentacles with clear indications of a darker band approximately halfway on both. Cerata with clearly visible digestive glands and a distinct bulge followed by a subterminal black band (broken up into black spots in some cerata), terminating in translucent rounded apices.
