Marshall Islands specimens have been found at Kwajalein, Enewetak and Ailinglaplap Atolls, either under dead coral or in ledges and small caves at night, both in the lagoon and on the seaward reef. Seven measured specimens ranged in length from 13 to 40mm.
Two specimens of slightly different color were found by Stan Jazwinski at Ailinglaplap.
This one was with an orange egg mass in a Halimeda patch on Kwajalein Atoll's east reef on 6 August 2011.
The one just below is a small juvenile.
It is possible that some of the animals on this page represent separate species.
The animal below was found under a rock at about 6m on a Kwajalein Atoll lagoon reef on 9 March 2009.
The shot below is another small individual.
We have also found P. inornata in the Hawaiian Islands.
