This is found mostly in eastern lagoon Halimeda patches. The anterior end of the body is bordered with a white "M" shape, similar to that of Biuve fulvipunctata, but the rest of the animal's color is quite different. However, B. fulvipunctata is quite variable and it seems most likely that these belong with them. The first few photos show a specimen that matches Aglaja sp. in Gosliner et al (2018).
The one in the two photos below were in a Kwajalein lagoon Halimeda patch on 12 September 2011.
