Elysia sp. e086

This species looks a lot like Elysia ornata and is likely just a variation of that species. Its primary difference is that the margins of the parapodia are green instead of black. This variation has been found at Enewetak and Kwajalein Atolls, mostly on lagoon pinnacles and on the seaward reef.

On the specimen below, the green line bordering the parapodia has darkened to nearly black.
