Didemnum grande ( Herdman, 1886) View in CoL
Leptoclinum albidum var. grande Herdman 1886, p 291 View in CoL .
Didemnum grande: Kott 2001, p 185 View in CoL and synonymy; 2004a, p 752; 2004b, p 2492.
Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 2001, 2004a, 2004b): Western Australia (Port Hedland); Queensland (Hervey Bay, Whitsunday Is, Great Barrier Reef); Northern Territory (Darwin); Indonesia; Philippines. New record: Western Australia (Shoalwater Bay– Cockburn Sound, WAM 309.89)
Remarks
Although this specimen appears to have been dried out, the zooids can still be seen to line the primary cloacal canals that surround the zooid-free areas and the characteristic spicules to 0.1 mm, with 9–11 strongly pointed conical rays in optical transverse section present throughout the colony. The newly recorded specimen is the most southerly record for this well-characterized tropical species on the western Australian coast.
