Underwater Photography Bali Indonesia

Yang ini nggak tahu namanya oiy…
Ada yang tahu ?

Asked to Seaslug forum:

I saw this yesterday in Amed, North Bali. I tried to find it in the Debelius Nudibranch book, and it seems to resemble a Roboastra or Tambja, but I am not sure which.

Locality: Lipah, Amed, Karang Asem, Bali, Indonesia, Lombok Strait. Depth: 12 metres. Length: 2 - 3 cm . 20 November 2005. Black Sand. Photographer: Hengky Dotulong

I’m hoping that you can help! Thanks so much, I look forward to hearing back from you and enjoy your website very much.

Best regards,

Answered from Seaslug forum:

Dear Hengky,
I think this is Tambja tentaculata. We still have a lot to learn about these animals so I could be wrong. This species normally has yellow stripes with black edging to the yellow lines. What I suspect happens is that the yellow lines contract so only the black parts shows. If you look at the juvenile in Marta Pola’s message [#14593] there is no sign of the yellow.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman

   i believe it’s a Tambja species but also can’t find a match in my books…

   Yup, I still ask to www.seaslugforum.net, the colour more similiar to Roboastra tigris, but maybe is not because Roboastra tigris is big like 30 cm and the wildness nudibranch found at Mexico.
