Tenellia sp. e329
12mm

So far this unidentified eolid is known in the Marshalls from the two specimens figured below. The upper photo shows a single 12mm specimen found at a depth of 10 meters at night in a small cave on Kwajalein Atoll's leeward seaward reef. It is certainly the same as that figured as Tenellia sp. 27 in Gosliner et al (2018). We have also seen this in Bali.

The two photos below show a specimen shaken from a mass of hydroids and Halimeda algae growing under a floating dock at Kwajalein Harbor on 27 September 2009. It appears to be somewhat damaged.
