Description
Pyura dalbyi has a yellow, sand-free tunic, a highly conspicuous feature that readily distinguishes it from other species of cunjevoi in temperate Australasia.
Range & habitat
This species has been found in several localities in Victoria, south-eastern Australia, and in a single locality in Western Australia (Albany harbour). Unlike other species of cunjevoi in temperate Australasia, P. dalbyi has been found almost exclusively subtidally.
Wikipedia: “Distribution”
In human culture
Pyura dalbyi is named after Dr. James Edward Dalby Jr, who reported distributional, morphometric and ecological differences between this species and its congener P. praeputialis.
