Yeah, just a possibility for now. More of a negative ID than a positive ID, ie. it's not A. millipora, A. humilis, A. gemmifera, other common species. The guy who tweaked me to it being A. valida works for ORA, for what it's worth. As per Bornemann's writings, there's no point in pretending it is actually A. valida without having the skeleton analyzed. But it's nice to at least have an idea.
