Sohgenia palauensis Hamatani, 1991

Sohgenia palauensis is known in the Marshalls from several specimens at Enewetak and at least four at Kwajalein. It is reported on the Sea Slug Forum from Palau and Japan, including the Kerama Islands near Okinawa. The Marshall Islands specimens represent a considerable range extension eastward. The animals were found under rocks on shallow lagoon reefs at depths of 3 to 8 meters. Seven measured specimens ranged in length from 5 to 9mm.

In a side view, the green from the body does not show up very well.
