Locality: Middle Arch, Poor Knight's Islands, 10 m, New Zealand, Pacific, 04 February 2007. Photographer: Samuel Kemp.

Dear Sam,

Thanks for this nice series of photos. I have split your message into three, all of which show a different species of Tambja feeding on the blue plant-like bryozoan Bugula dentata. The other two show Tambja tenuilineata [message #19907] and Tambja morosa [message #19908]

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
