Babakina indopacifica Gosliner, Gonzales-Duarte, and Cervera, 2007

Babakina indopacifica was recently described from, well, the Indo-Pacific. The so far single Kwajalein specimen resembles specimens we observed in Hawaii. The Kwajalein specimen was found in Halimeda algae, probably feeding on the hydroids growing on the algae. It was on a sandy lagoon reef at a depth of about 6 meters, and its length was about 10mm.
