Hawaii Chitons

This page links to some of the chitons we have seen and photographed in the Hawaiian Islands. These were all taken with film cameras (various Nikonos models) in the 1970s and 1980s, and all images are scanned from slides. Sizes given are estimates. These were mostly taken haphazardly in passing while searching for nudibranchs, so this by no means a thorough listing of Hawaiian chitons.
