Heteropsammia

1 Mariana Islands species

Randall (2003) reported Heteropsammia cf. cochlea from the Marianas, but was a deep water taxon collected through dredge sampling. I have not yet observed any Heteropsammia cochlea-like species from the shallow reefs of Guam or other islands in the Marianas. The specimens below were observed in the Anilao area of the Philippines and Lembeh, Indonesia.
