Dorid species from the Marshalls

March 7, 2000
From: Scott Johnson

Hi Bill,

Attached is a photo of another small dorid I was never able to identify. I saw 4 or 5 of these at Enewetak Atoll in the early 80s. It's a small beast. They typically measure 7 to 8mm in length. Texture is somewhat firm, and they live under chunks of dead coral rock on shallow lagoon reefs.

Note added 5 March 2007: This is a species of Paradoris, probably Paradoris sp. 1.

Dear Scott,
Thanks. Perhaps someone will recognise it. In the meantime it can beDoris sp. 11.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
