Etymology

The genus name, Atolla, is derived from the word atoll.[2] The specific epithet was given in honor of Jeff Reynolds, a volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium who guarded a beached whale overnight at Del Monte beach. Even though it’s a Atolla, it lacks the long trailing tentacle that most Atolla have.[3]
