Tambja sp. 4 from the Solomons

From: Scott Johnson


Hi Bill,
Seeing Marli Wakeling's recent photo of Tambja sp. 4 reminded me I had seen the same species in the Solomons in March of 1994. Just like the one in Bruce Potter's photo, it was at the Bonegi site near Honiara. This one was right next to the Bonegi wreck at a depth of about 15m. I presume the bryozoan is its food. The animal measured about 40mm.

Scott.

Dear Scott,
Thanks for the photo. The beautiful bryozoan reminded me I have been planning to prepare a 'bryozoan' page since they feature so prominently as nudibranch food.
Cheers,
Bill
