This species doesn't quite match anything else we have from the Marshalls, although it seems closest to what we are calling Rostanga? sp. e219. The 10mm specimen in the first three photos was found under a rock at 9m on a Kwajalein Atoll seaward reef on 28 March 2010. Although not too evident in the photos, it was convered with fine, narrow warts, giving the animal a slightly fuzzy appearance.
The photo below is a still captured from HD video.
The 30mm specimen below was found and photographed by John and Lynette Flynn near the northeast corner of Rongelap Atoll on a shallow (~1m) current swept reef with lots of live coral and other marine life.
