Hi Bill,
Here are some photos of Rostanga lutescens from Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands, to add to the Rostanga collection. These animals were all small, ranging from about 12 to 19 mm. The few specimens found were all living under chunks of dead coral on shallow subtidal lagoon reefs at depths from about 2 to 5 meters.

Johnson, S., 2002 (Mar 7) Rostanga lutescens from Marshall Ids. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6341Thanks Scott,
I hadn't realised from your description (Johnson & Bertsch, 1985) just how translucent this species is. These photos are a very useful addition to the Forum
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
