Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Charles Griffiths
Comment:   this is a very interesting image as firstly it appears to be a range extension as this species is a tropical one. Also unusual in that the spines are banded ( indicating a juvenile) but black in the adult One needs to see the rings around the anus ( not visible in photo) to determine which species!
