Costasiella kuroshimae Ichikawa, 1993

Unfortunately, this fuzzy shot is the only image we have of Costasiella kuroshimae, which is known in the Marshalls from two specimens found at Enewetak Atoll. They measured 3 to 4mm in length and were on lagoon reefs under rocks in 1 to 5 meters of water. Currently known from Japan and eastern Australia, the Marshall Islands represents a considerable range extension.
