The Black Spot Nudibranch (Joruna funebris) is a fairly common species throughout the Indo Pacific, but is a relatively new species to Hawaiian waters. It is certainly not one that we see very often. The individual here was found in sand, in only a few feet of water as the photographers were exiting a beach in North Kihei, Maui. The only other white and brown/black spotted sea slug that we have seen in Hawaiian waters is the Euselenops luniceps but it is significantly larger, has tube like rhinophores and lacks branchial gills.
