Cratena cf affinis (Baba, 1949)

These photos, although a bit fuzzy, appears to show the same animal depicted on the Sea Slug Forum under the name Cratena cf affinis. About seven specimens have been found on Enewetak Atoll lagoon and pinnacle reefs, under rocks at depths of 5 to 10 meters. Specimens ranged in length from 4 to 8mm.

The 3mm long specimen in the two photos below was found on a Kwajalein Atoll lagoon reef under dead coral at a depth of about 5m on 3 January 2009.
