Olivellopsis cf amoni (Sterba & Lorenz, 2005)

This tiny living shell was found in shallow water on the lagoon side of Kwajalein Island by Christina Sylvester.

We have also seen tiny empty shells pulled out of sand samples collected at depths of 15 through about 65m on the Kwajalein Atoll seaward reef slope.
