Discodoris boholiensis Bergh, 1877

Although a well-know Indo-Pacific species, Discodoris boholiensis is known in the Marshalls from only two specimens: one found by Rob Ramsey in a Halimeda patch on the lagoon slope of the eastern Kwajalein Atoll reef at a depth of about 20 meters, and a darker specimen (bottom photo) found some years ago by David Johnson. Unfortunately, we were able to capture the image of the recent specimen only on video, which accounts for the low resolution of the first two screen captures below.
