Vellicola muscaria (Gould, 1859)
~7mm

This unusual little haminoeid was found and photographed by Marissa Brown on Halimeda algae growing on the kingpost of a Kwajalein lagoon bottom shipwreck in about 20m of water. A likely ID is Vellicola muscaria, but the shell would need to be examined to be sure.
