Finding one of these sapsuckers is indeed a treat. They are nocturnal, so discovery generally involves looking very closely at the algae in the shallows and determining whether it’s an animal or a plant. The jensenae is often confused with the Polybranchia samanthae or Cyerce elegans. Though they can autotomize their cerata (as seen in a few images below), they do not do so nearly as readily as the samanthae. When I spotted a Mourgona (?) sp.#5, I also questioned whether it was a juvenile of this species. The individuals documented here were between 25 & 40 mm (1″ – 1.5″). They were found in less than 2 metres of water, on rubble and algae covered rocks in semi-protected areas of Makena and North Kihei, Maui. To 2 inches (50 mm).
