This unidentified species is known from four specimens from Enewetak Atoll and two more from Kwajalein. They measured 5 to 8mm stretched out. The Enewetak specimens in the two photos below were found under rocks on Enewetak Atoll's lagoon reef in 1983. The most recognizable character is the presence of a single reddish purple to brown spot approximately in the middle of each ceras, and another lighter and less distinct internal purple spot at each ceras' base.
Two more specimens were shaken from hydroids and Halimeda growing under floating docks in Kwajalein Harbor on 6 and 14 September 2009. One of these, photographed with a Dynolite digital microscope, is shown below.
The specimen below was shaken out of a mass of Halimeda and hydroids growing under a floating dock in Kwajalein Harbor on 1 August 2010.
