Remarks. Hemiaegina minuta is widely distributed in tropical and temperate waters of the world oceans ( Müller, 1990). Hemiaegina minuta has been collected from Sargassum sp and taken in plankton tows ( McCain & Steinberg, 1970). Müller (1990) reported H. minuta preferring moreorless exposed reef locations. Recently, the author has studied material of H. minuta from Papua New Guinea living on Dictyota sp, Halimeda sp, Gracilaria sp, Galaxaura sp., and Amansia glomerata (Agardh) Norris, 1979 ; and also from Queensland and northwestern Australia on many different substrata: green algae such as Halimeda spp, brown and red algae, sponges, tunicates, Posidonia and dead corals encrusted with algal turf. and under small boulders (GuerraGarcía, personal observations).
