Chelidonura sp. e528 was found on 15 June 2008 on in an eastern lagoon Halimeda patch. The anterior end of the body is bordered with a white "M" shape, similar to that of Chelidonura fulvipunctata, but the rest of the animal's color is quite different. However, it does resemble a pale form of C. fulvipunctata figured on the Hawaii Sea Slug site. It also resembles somewhat Navanax sp. 1, also on the Hawaii Sea Slug site.
The one in the two photos below were in a Kwajalein lagoon Halimeda patch on 12 September 2011.
It comes in a darker form as well; the first two below were found in mid August 2011 in Kwajalein lagoon Halimeda patches.
This one was found in a similar area on 3 September 2011. Several others were also seen during this period; the species has been unusually common during the late summer of 2011.
The one below was seen on 28 December 2008.
