A single specimen of this Plocamopherus was found on 8 February 2009 under a small rock on Kwajalein Atoll's east reef. It was at a depth of about 6m and measured 19mm in length. The animal was feeding on the branching bryozoan shown in the lower foreground of the photo. Photographs of this species by Mike Miller are on the Sea Slug Forum as Plocamopherus sp. 1.
