Here are two records of Sakuraeolis nungunoides from New Caledonia

Upper Photo: Lagoon between mainland and Récif de l'Infernet, off Koumac, New Caledonia, 20°34.4'S, 164°13'E, 12m, Silty bottom with dense gorgonian beds, 4 October 1993, 26mm long alive, AM C200325
Lower Photo: Lagoon between mainland and Récif de l'Infernet, off Koumac, New Caledonia, 20°34.4'S, 164°13'E, 12m, Silty bottom with dense gorgonian beds 18 October 1993, 10,10,16,17,18,19mm long alive, AM C200516.

Originally described from Tanzania, these records from New Caledonia, and Harry Erhardt's record from Malaysia, suggest it has a wide Indo-West Pacific distribution.
Best wishes,
