Dear Koh,
Thanks for these interesting photos which arived while I was preparing a message about Babakina caprinsulensis, which may be the same species from New Zealand. I have been accumulating examples of this species as Babakina cf. festiva as Terry Gosliner said there was a project on these animals under way to see if there was one or more species. Your animals certainly look very similar to those on the Forum from Japan.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
