Gastropteron minutum Ong, Hallas & Gosliner, 2017
3mm

These little 3mm long animals appear to be Gastropteron minutum, but the ID is not certain. This pair in the first two rather fuzzy photos below was found on a lagoon reef at Enewetak Atoll, under dead coral at a depth of 5 meters.

The individual in the two photos below was found by Christina Sylvester in a Kwajalein reef quarry on 18 January 2015.
