Sacoglossans

This page contains the most of the Sacoglossans we have seen at Kwajalein. Not all the Sacoglossans are included due to lack of photos. More will be added as we get them. Sacoglossans are all herbivores, feeding on marine algae.

Although slower to load, the list with thumbnail images can be found here.
