Elysia nealae Ostergaard, 1955

This rather variable Elysia species is relatively common in lagoon Halimeda patches at Kwajalein Atoll at depths of 7 to 15m. Several measured specimens have ranged from 13 to 18mm. It is not clear that this is really E. nealae; it is also similar to Elysia sp. 15 in Gosliner et al (1980).

Some specimens are much lighter in color.
