Sertularella sp.

Remarks: Calder et al. (2003) examined Fraser’s material and found specimens with two different morphologies, neither of them referable to Sertularella conica Allman, 1877, as originally identified. The authors stated that Fraser’s specimens are close to S. gayi (Lamouroux, 1821) and S. wallacei Stechow, 1926 .
