Dermatobranchus fortunata (Bergh, 1888)

Dermatobranchus fortunata is common on Marshall Islands intertidal reefs, particularly along the eastern reef at Enewetak Atoll. They are usually under rocks in less than 1 meter of water, but a few have been observed as deep as 5 meters. Specimens have also been found at Kwajalein and Utirik Atolls. Twelve measured specimens ranged from 7 to 15mm in length.
