Upon reviewing this presentation the following comments were posted:
Marien Faber suggested:
"again extremely well done. Great photos! Perhaps these species have a different (holothurian) host?"
Peggy Williams observed:
"I have found both (M. jamaicensis and M. conoidea) by hand dredging in sand. They did not appear to be on a host."
Marlo agreed:
My experience has been the same as Peggy's. Many times live specimens of these species are in dredge takings with no apparent host material present.
