Identification remarks I also showed this image to George Matsumoto who described the species, and he agrees that it seems to be C. thomsoni. Assuming that we are correct, it means that C. thomsoni is less substrate specific than many other platyctenes. C. thomsoni is described in both a white and a green morph (shown here). Thanks for posting these.
