This small Polycera resembles both Polycera sp. e160 and P. sp. e111, but differed enough in coloration and external morphology to treat them separately. This specimen and one smaller one were found and photographed by Christina Sylvester in 3m of water on the lagoon side of Kwajalein Island's north point. They were in or around a bryozoan colony on the undersurface of a chunk of dead Fungia coral.
This is the bryozoan colony within which the nudibranch and egg mass were found. the yellow tipped rhinophores of the nudibranch can be seen near the upper right side of the photo.
