The new species was given the name 'Atolla reynoldsi' in honor of the aquarium's first volunteer.
has a furrowed bell. The bell is surrounded by a deep groove that divides the domed bell from the broad edge with thick pedalia that have fingerlike lappets.Atolla reynoldsi's tentacles are frequently seen coiled in addition to lacking the hypertrophied tentacle.Jeff Reynolds guarded a beached whale on Del Monte Beach overnight in 1980, four years before the Aquarium's official opening, so that it could be retrieved and ready for an overhead exhibit.
“This is such an honor to have this new species named after me. It also honors all the fantastic Aquarium volunteers over the decades. I was just the lucky one to be there so early on,” said Jeff Reynolds. “Volunteering and working for the aquarium for 42 years was just such an awesome and rewarding experience. It was especially wonderful being taken in as a 16-year-old kid by mentors like [aquarium co-founder] Steve Webster and Tom Williams to just do whatever needed being done at the moment, from vacuuming the floor to caring for stranded sea otter pups to assisting with whale necropsies to building exhibit models.
We have observed and collected unusual specimens of what we recognize as undescribed types of the genus Atolla over the past 15 years. Of these, there appear to be three potentially different types. One of these has now been genetically sequenced and compared both morphologically and molecularly with five other Atolla species that have been found in the eastern Pacific.
