Lamprell & Whitehead indicate the range for F. sowerbyi to be from north
Western Australia to Northern Territory.
This leaves a lot of groung to cover to north Queensland - especially the
Barrier Reef side.
My specimens are from Broome & northWA(probably 80 Mile Beach)
I find sowerbyi is easy to distinguish by the radial pink rays and more
widely spaced & erect concentric ridges
