Rostanga lutescens (Bergh, 1905)

Rostanga lutescens is rare in the Marshalls. Three specimens were found at Enewetak and at least one at Kwajalein. All were under dead coral on lagoon reefs at a depth of about 5 meters. Specimens ranged from 12 to 19mm in length. The first two shots below are of Enewetak specimens.

The next three photos show an 11mm Kwajalein specimen found on the night of 1 November 2008 crawling on rubble on a lagoon pinnacle at a depth of 7m.
