Tambja sp. 4 from Solomon Ids

From: Bruce Potter


Bill,
On a recent dive I found this critter that looks like what you have listed as Tambja sp4. Unfortunately it was slightly damaged, looking like a bite had been taken on one side, including part of the gills. It was at about 16 meters, crawling across a sandy patch in a strong current, so it was difficult to photograph. It was about 30mm long.

This was at a dive site on the outskirts of Honiara, Solomon Islands.

Regards
Bruce Potter

Thanks Bruce,
This seems to be a bit more brightly coloured than earlier examples but clearly the same species
Best wishes,
