Aldisa pikokai Bertsch & Johnson, 1982
10mm

Aldisa pikokai is rare in the Marshalls, known from only two specimens found at Kwajalein. One specimen measuring 10mm was found in a surge channel ledge on the seaward reef at about 9 meters at night. The habitat and noctural activity was similar to numerous specimens we have observed in Hawaii. This photo from Kwajalein was taken by David Johnson. Aldisa pikokai was first reported in the Marshalls from Kwajalein Atoll by Johnson & Boucher (1984).
