Cut...Hello!
Hi Patty and all,
South Florida suffered the devastation of hurricane Andrew (category 5, I
think), a head on encounter
from the Atlantic side. The shallow reef bottoms on the oceanside and lee side
(behind Elliots Key chain)
suffered superficial damage. Dont know how the shelling fared; Mark, B. Pace
and others from the Miami club would know a lot more about this.
Could anyone volunteer more information on Zoila perlae eludens habitat,
ecology, AND more specific locality, not "Western Australia" ? The typical
data slips that come with many Zoila are more than a bit suspect and plain
wrong.
