Discodoris cebuensis Bergh, 1877
50mm

The first specimen of Discodoris cebuensis we saw in the Marshalls was a single specimen found on 2 September 2008 in an eastern lagoon reef Halimeda patch. The 50mm long animal was nestled in the algae at a depth of about 8m.

The underside is yellow with brown markings along the margin of the foot.

Starting in June of 2012, an additional five specimens have been found as of now, all in similar Halimeda algae patches on the Kwajalein lagoonr reef. Some of these are figured below.
