Hi Bill,

Here is another Trapania species from the Marshall Islands. It is much smaller than Trapania cf. brunnea which I sent separately, 5 to 9 mm in length, and living under rocks at depths of about 10-15 meters.

Dear Scott,
This has some similarities to Trapania toddi, but the network of brown lines is quite unique.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
