Tenellia melanobrachia Bergh, 1874
20mm

We found three specimens of Tenellia melanobrachia, all on Tubastraea coral. The first was on a night dive at Savo on 20 August 1987, and the other two were at night underneath the Honiara cargo pier on 7 April 1994. The latter two are pictured below. There would likely have been more there, but we rather quickly were chased out of the water by the pier's night watchmen.
