Bornella johnsonorum Pola, Rudman & Gosliner, 2009
The elongate body is similar in shape to other species of Bornella.
The background color is a translucent straw colour with the to orange-brown viscera showing through. Body with scattered white spots and patches of varying sizes. In some specimens, a faint, diffuse orange reticulation is visible around the whitish patches. The oral tentacles on each side of the mouth are lobe-like and have up to 9 finger-like papillae arranged along the margin.
Bornella johnsonorum is very similar to Bornella stellifer. External and internal features can distinguish both species. This Bornella species is named after Scott and Jeannette Johnson.
