Sclerodoris sp. 2
50mm

The animal figured below is the only specimen of this species I found in Hawaii. It was under a rock at a depth of about 10m at Ewa, Oahu, on 12 December 1985. We have seen the same species in the Marshall Islands. Its deeply pitted surface closely resembles that of a sponge. Similar specimens were included under Sclerodoris apiculata on the Sea Slug Forum, but they did not seem the same as other specimens on the same site. Gosliner et al (2008) show it as Sclerodoris sp. 2.
