Volvatella angeliniana is known in the Marshalls from few specimens. The first two figured below were found on an intertidal reef under a rock at Enewetak Atoll. When disturbed one of them released a white milky substance, probably a defensive secretion of some kind.
One more (below) crawled out of an algae sample collected on a lagoon reef for an aquarium.
