Trapania circinata Gosliner & Fahey, 2008

This species is known from the Marshalls from two specimens found at Kwajalein Atoll. One was discovered in a ledge at night on a lagoon pinnacle, while the other was crawling on sand during the day on the atoll's western seaward reef. One of the Marshalls specimens measured 17mm.

The reproductive system can be seen as two peach-colored balls near the right side of the animal about halfway between the rhinophores and gills in the photo below.

The rather poor photo below is included since it shows the second of the two Marshall Islands specimens.
