Tambja fantasmalis from Cabo Verde Islands

September 4, 2003
From: Gérard Breton

Dear Bill,
Here is another message from my dive trip between 22 - 30 March 2003 to two islands of the Cape Verde Archipelago: Sal and Fogo.

Data: Fereno, Sal Island, 15m.

Is this a species of Roboastra? I have seen it during previous travels in Sal in 1996 and 1999.

Dear Gérard,
This is not a species of Roboastra, but is, I think, Tambja fantasmalis, a member of the similar looking genus, Tambja, members of which feed on arborescent bryozoans. This species is known only from a very few records, and as far as I know, all of them are from the Cape Verde Archipelago
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
