Identification:  This is a firm, snow white dorid with black rhinophores and gills. Its firm texture and lack of a brown marginal line distinguish it from Ardeadoris scottjohnsoni. Natural history:  Hiatodoris fellowsi is a moderately common dorid that may be found resting under ledges or on shaded cliffs at depths of 3-24 m (10-80 ft). It occurs at moderately exposed to highly exposed sites and lays a white egg mass with a ruffled edge. Distribution:  Maui, Lanai, Oahu and Kauai: widely distributed in the western & central Pacific. Taxonomic notes:  This species is listed in Kay, 1979; Bertch & Johnson, 1981; and Hoover, 1998 & 2006 as Peltodoris fellowsi. It's referred to as "Fellow's nudibranch" in Hoover, 1998 & 2006 and was first recorded in Hawaii from Pupukea, Oahu in July, 1965 by David Fellows (Kay & Young, 1969).
