Dear Bill
I have also found Tambja tentaculata on a dive in Rinca (a small island in the Komodo Islands). It was very small, so I first thought it was a juvenile of some Roboastra species. I am glad to find it on your pages. This nudibranch seems to live not only in Guam but also in Indonesia.

Locality: Cannibal rock, Rinca island, ca. 15m, Indonesia, Pacific, 22. July 2004, cold water, small coral reef. Length: 3 to 4cm. Photographer: Teresa (Zubi) Zuberbühler.

Dear Zubi,

Thanks for this.  There are a couple of aniamls on the Forum which I have tentatively identified as Tambja tentaculata, but your specimen is the first one I can definitely say is that species. With the message from Borneo [#14883] we can now say with some certainty that this species is found outside Guam.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
