Identification:  This is a translucent-gray dorid minutely flecked with darker gray. The center of the notum is rust-brown and the anterior margin is translucent-yellow. The notum is covered with small, rounded tubercles and scattered enlarged tubercles that are weakly compound and tipped in diffuse-white. The rhinophore bases are rust-brown, minutely flecked with gray, while the apexes are flammulated with white and brown. The branchia are cream with a few small gray flecks on the dorsal surface. Natural history:  Carminodoris sp. #21 is known from one animal found crawling on sand in a Halimeda kanaloana bed at about 29 m (95 ft). Distribution:  Big Island. Taxonomic notes:   The pattern of enlarged tubercles seems atypical for Carminodoris but other characters match the genus. It's somewhat similar to an animal from the Marshall's on Scott Johnson's site. It was first recorded in Hawaii from off Honokohau Harbor, Big Island by Ryan Boerema on July 7, 2022.
