Cyerce ? sp. e280

These small sacoglossans are uncommon on lagoon reefs at Enewetak and Kwajalein Atolls, where they live under dead coral rocks at depths of 1 to 5 meters. Eight measured specimens ranged from 4 to 10mm in length. They are similar to the animal figured on the Sea Slug Forum as Cyerce sp. 3 and are likely the same species, even though there is some color variation. As noted for Hawaiian specimens by Cory Pittman on the Forum, this species can swim by flapping its paddles up and down
