Anteaeolidiella cf takanosimensis (Baba, 1930)
15mm

As noted on the Hawaii Sea Slugs site, this species has some of the characteristics of Anteaeolidiella takanosimensis from Japan. We saw this species of eolid only once. A pair of them (the orange rhinophores of the second one are barely visible at the left end of the nudibranch) were in about a half meter of water on a short basalt wall at night at Makua. They were in a small cove where I would enter and exit the water, and I spotted these while taking off my flippers in preparation to climb up on the basalt rocks. The date was 19 September 1979.
