This tiny Euryleptid is a newly found species on Maui and it does not appear to be accounted for in any of the CD’s or books recently published on Flatworms of the Indo-Pacific.  Its prominent pseudotentacles suggest it is of the Eurylipedae family.  It was a relatively small flatworm, perhaps 18 mm and appeared to be nothing more than a round sponge on the back of an intertidal rock when first observed.  It was the moving orange-tipped pseudo tentacles that gave it away when it moved slightly in reaction to a Witcher pounce.
