Identification:  This is a gray to cream dorid with very small, rounded tubercles that are slightly darker than the background and more widely spaced laterally. The tubercles may be surrounded by rings of minute white flecks and dark brown flecks are present both between and on them. The rhinophores have white tips and subapical brown pigment. The branchia are bi-colored with cream pigment on the anterior plumes. There's a low, mid-dorsal crest and the margin is slightly frilly. Natural history:  Carminodoris sp. #20 is known from two animals, one found in a tide pool at an exposed, rocky site and the other at about 3 m (11 ft) at a moderately exposed site. Distribution:  Maui. Taxonomic notes:  The low mid-dorsal crest is atypical for Carminodoris. However, other characters match the genus. The tubercles are proportionately smaller and more widely spaced than in Carminodoris sp. #2. The branchia differ from Unidentified Discodorid 19. It was first recorded in Hawaii from the north shore of Maui by Britt Daniels on Aug. 9, 2021. Photo:  Britt Daniels: about 8-9 mm: north shore, Maui; Aug. 9, 2021.
