Ceratosoma sinuatum (van Hasselt, 1824)

This is a rare species in the Marshalls. We have found one specimen at Enewetak and perhaps half a dozen at Kwajalein. All specimens here have been on lagoon pinnacles or on the leeward seaward reef, either under rocks on in ledges at night. The largest one measured 50mm in length.

The photo below shows the 50mm specimen found at Enewetak.
