About Thuridilla multimarginata
Sea Slugs of Hawaiʻi explicitly lists Kauaʻi; paired 2023 community observations corroborate.
Fresh WoRMS/MolluscaBase query returned Thuridilla multimarginata accepted (AphiaID 494501).
Expert account reports reef flats below 1 m and rubble/Halimeda habitats to 33 m.
Authoritative island occurrence, accepted taxonomy, shallow habitat, and modern corroboration support current status. Strict current-status reconciliation: downgraded to historical because no dated authoritative recent Kauaʻi voucher or survey was inspected.
