Identification:  This is an elongate, yellow to white species marked with irregular violet-brown bands near the branchia and rhinophores. The papillae are short and blunt while the rhinophores have only five or six lamellae (in contrast to Atagema echinata). Natural history:  Unidentified discodorid #18 is known from three animals. Two were found at an exposed rocky site at < 5 m (< 16 ft). The other was found in a Halimeda kanaloana bed at between 8 and 20 m (26 and 66 ft). Distribution:  Maui: possibly also known from Japan. Taxonomic notes: The papillae in these animals are similar to those of Atagema intecta suggesting that they might ultimately turn out to be very small juveniles of that species.
