Coryphellina delicata (Gosliner & Willan, 1991)
20mm

Coryphellina delicata is known from the Marshalls from about 5 specimens found at Kwajalein Atoll. The first two photos are from Stan Jazwinski of one of two found under a rock in about 10m of water on the seaward side of the windward reef.

The specimen below was damaged, possibly by a predation attempt. Although missing the entire rear half of its body, it seemed to be surviving well enough.

Another damaged one with especially long cerata.
