( Figure 33 F–G View FIGURE 33 )

Material examined. Five specimens. MNCN15.05/63447 (neotype), ZRP, 11 Jan. 2012, 1m, 18mm preserved; MHN-YT604, BL, 12 Oct. 2012, 3m, 35mm; MB28-004756 & MB28-004757, PAQ, 0 3 Dec. 2013, 1m, 19mm and 29mm, respectively; MB28-004 796, PACG, 26 Jan. 2014, 0.5m, 50mm.

Habitats. Subtropical tidal reefs and seagrass and on top of encrusting substrate on aquaculture nets in the tropics.

Occurrences. Zavora, Paindane, Barra and Pemba.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central and eastern Pacific. Pacific side of Mexico, Hawaii, Marshall Islands ( Carmona et al. 2014b), Japan ( Baba 1955), Indonesia (Gosliner et al. 2008), Philippines ( Carmona et al. 2014b), Mauritius ( Bergh 1888), Seychelles (Gosliner et al. 2008), Réunion Island (Bidgrain 2013), Tanzania ( Edmunds 1970) and Mozambique ( Carmona et al. 2014b).

Remarks. Two colour forms have been observed in Mozambican specimens: dark pink ( Fig. 33 F View FIGURE 33 ), and greenish ( Fig. 33 G View FIGURE 33 ). Carmona et al. (2014b) reviewed both morphotypes and concluded that they are the same species. One of the pink specimens from the Mozambican collection is now the neotype species ( Carmona et al. 2014b).
