Tambja sp. 5 from Sulawesi

From: Mary Jane Adams


Note added 16 August 2005: This species is now named Tambja gabrielae.

Hi Bill,
I believe this is what you call Tambja sp. 5. It is fairly common in Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia. All the ones I saw were yellow and black in much the same pattern and about 4-5cm. long. These two were feeding on bryozoans during daylight hours. I photographed the upper image at Nudi Falls and the lower one at Kepal Indah in April, 2002

Best regards,
Mary Jane
