Identification:  The body of this aeolid is translucent-cream with a hint of brown in the branches of the digestive gland. Its sides have cloudy patches, the tips of its cerata are frosted with white and there are a few white flecks on its rhinophores. The rhinophores are long and smooth (distinguishing it from the similar-appearing Tenellia sp. #22) while the cephalic tentacles are short. The eye spots are small. Natural history:  Tenellia sp. #30 is known from two animals found on debris/bryozoan colonies on a sand bottom. They were at a depth of 5-8 m (15-25 ft) at a protected to moderately protected site. It probably feeds on a large hydroid (Corymorpha sp.?). Distribution:  Kauai. Taxonomic notes:  It was first found in Hawaii at Hanalei Bay, Kauai by Jackie Hanberg on July 13, 2023.
