Though relatively common, Elysia nealae is not an easy sacogglosan to find unless you stick to the shallows (just a couple of metres) and scour the algae found on rocky bottoms and protected reef areas like fish ponds and accretion platforms.  These animals were found in North Kihei, Maui and were between 18 and 25 mm.  For more taxonomic information please see Sea Slugs of Hawaii.
