dorid sp. e552

This unidentified dorid is known from one specimen found at Kwajalein Atoll. The animal was under a dead coral rock at a depth of about 15m along a lagoon interisland reef. Nearby under the same rock were two orange to red egg masses. The nudibranch measured about 8mm in length.

Below, the dark brown nudibranch is at right, and the nearby egg masses likely belonged to it.
