Acanthozoon alderi (Collingwood, 1876)
150mm

A relatively common and one of the largest species here in the Marshalls, this one can be seen under rocks or crawling about in the open during the day on lagoon and seaward reefs. The orange spots cap small rounded warts that cover the upper surface of the flatworm.

The rest are smaller specimens measuring about 25mm or less.
