Tambja morosa meets Tambja gabrielae Pulau Abadi, Lembeh.<br />
T. morosa is the big green and blue nudi and T. gabrielae is the small orange and dark green nudi. The latter can grow almost as big as the former but in this case is a juvenile. Nudis can predate on other nudis so I hope this encounter did not end in tragedy for the little T. gabrielae. Geotagged,Gloomy Nudibranch,Indonesia,Spring,Tambja morosa Click/tap to enlarge
