Trimma sp.

Trimma sp.2

This Trimma sp. is an undescribed deep and
rare species.

A tiny species whose length is just 1.5cm.

First of all,I was very much obliged to my friend,Yukinobu Adachi,who discovered this
individual.

He told me the precise station on the phone,so I could find it in vast ocean.

But,to tell the truth,I thought I couldn't find
it when I hard it on the phone...
