This is pretty close to what Gosliner et al (2008) figure as Tritoniopsis alba but seems a bit closer to what they call Tritoniopsis sp. It is similar to Tritoniopsis elegans but has a somewhat distinct, pustular whitish low wide ridge middorsally with branches to the branching lateral processes. The Marshall Islands animal was found at night on the soft coral Lobophyton on an Enewetak Atoll lagoon pinnacle reef. The single specimen measured 23mm in length.
