The identification of this specimen comes from Gosliner et al (2008). It also looks like a species of Melanochlamys. Several specimens have been found crawling on sand in or near Halimeda patches on a sandy lagoon slope at depths of 8 to 10m. The first, figured below, was observed on 11 February 2008. The shot of the tiny animal was taken with a digital microscope with limited depth of field.
