Noumea varians (Pease, 1871)

Rare in the Marshalls, Noumea varians is so far known from only two specimens, both observed at Kwajalein Atoll. One measured 12mm in length and was under dead coral rubble at a depth of 20 meters on the leeward seaward reef. Specimens from Hawaii look a bit different, and I'm not sure if they are really the same.
