Berthella pellucida (Pease, 1860)
15mm

These were most often found under rocks on shallow reefs such as the one at Kewalo Basin, Oahu. This was formerly considered Berthella stellata, which has been split up into at least eight speceis by recent molecular and morphological study. More recent DNA work has moved this group to Pleurehdera. P. stellata is an eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean species.
