Hallo everybody,

Locality: Lembeh Strait, Indonesia / Sulawesi, Celebes Sea. Depth: 15 meters. Length: about 8 cm, 07 December 2004. Coral garden. Photographer: Stefan Harrieder

Can anybody help me?

A Happy New Year to everybody

Dear Stefan,
I guess this is a particularly colorful example of  Tambja olivaria. It would be helpful to see a photo of the head end, if you have one, becauwe there are some characteristic colour markings at that end. Usually the posterior end is not as colourful as in your photo.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
