Moerchiella dorbignyi (Adams, 1853)
9.8mm

This is similar to published figures of Moerchiella dorbignyi, although color and slight differences in shape keep the ID tentative. The shell in the upper photo was occupied by a hermit crab and observed under a rock on a lagoon pinnacle in Enewetak Atoll.

The empty specimen below was on a lagoon beach in the northern Kwajalein Atoll.
