Favartia cf robertsoni D'Attilio & Myers, 1986
21.0mm

These appear to be what has been called Favartia robertsoni, a species Molluscabase calls a synonym of F. brevicula. I have some doubts. At least these with their long fronds appear different from the frondless specimens I have previously identified as F. brevicula in the Marshall Islands. We saw several specimens at Yandina, Russell Islands.
