Bulaceros porcellanus Newman & Cannon, 1996
20mm

Different books show different species under this name. We are following the Newman & Cannon Flabulous Flatworms CD and Ryanskiy (2021). The few specimens we have personally found were under rocks and in Halimeda algae on Kwajalein and Enewetak Atoll lagoon reefs.

The specimen below with the highly ruffled margin was the largest specimen found.

This species has also been found fairly commonly at Majuro Atoll by Ken Cone and Beth Van Zummeren.
