Jorunna alisonae Marcus, 1976
16mm

Four of these animals have been observed, three at Enewetak Atoll on a lagoon reef under rocks or aluminum siding debris in 3 to 5 meters of water. It is not certain that these are the same as the Jorunna alisonae described from Hawaii. The light rings around the darker spots resemble those of Jorunna ramicola Miller, 1996, as figured by Gosliner et al (2008). It could be that species. Jorunna alisonae was first reported in the Marshalls from Enewetak Atoll as Jorunna tomentosa by Young (1967).

This one is somewhat questionable. It was under a small rock on a shallow lagoon Kwajalein reef.
