Siriaus nucleola (Pease, 1860)

We found this only on a few occasions: twice at Puako, Hawaii, once at Makua and once at Hanauma Bay, Oahu. The two at Puako were both under rocks intertidally. The deepest was the Hanauma specimen, which was under a rock with a Doriopsis pecten at a depth of 5m.

The Siriaus nucleola at right shared a rock and probably the food source of the smaller Doriopsis pecten at left.
