Dear Koh,
Thanks for this. I have called it Tambja cf. verconis on the Forum, not because I think it is closely related to T. verconis, but because it looks quite similar. Tambja verconis is a temperate water species from southern Australia and northern new Zealand, while Tambja cf. verconis has a strange disjunct distribution in Sth Korea and nthn New Zealand. Either we have not looked hard enough in the waters in between, or this is an unnatural distribution, perhaps the result of shipping.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
