Tambja tenuilineata mating trouble!
May 31, 2007
From: Nicholas Missenden
Hi Bill,
Just thought I would send you a couple of pictures of these two Tambja tenuilineata having trouble mating in strong surge. These picture show how large the organs can actually get in comparison to the nudi itself.
Locality: Bare Island, South Wall, Botany Bay, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Depth: 18 m, Length: 4 cm. 29 September 2005. Broken reef, sandy bottom Photographer: Nicholas Missenden

Thanks for this series. It's interesting to see they remain close to their food bryozoan Bugula dentata, despite the surge
Best wishes,
