Distinguished by its three pairs of processes bearing gills.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #750
This appears to be the form japonica, which is now a synonym of hermanni. Three paired processes on the back and subdivided processes on the rhinophores.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #12828
This fits my understanding of Bornella hermanni.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #17744
Bornella japonica has recently been synonymized with hermanni.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #21387
Appears to be variable in colour, here the complicated / divided rhinophore processes are clearly visible and distinguishable from B. stellifer.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #24566
If this is really hermanni, it is a large range extension from Christmas Island and the western Pacific.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #20426
