Rubramoena sp. @ Cala Margarida 16-07-2016 by Enric Madrenas
Discussion
Initially classified as
Rubramoena amoena, it does not conform to species description, it is probably a new species
. Here we have two variants, one with a white dorsal band, found on the Spanish Costa Brava, and another without this dorsal band found in Southern Italy and in Malta. Specimens from the Adriatic sea seem to be of both variants.
