Tambja
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Tambja is a genus of colorful sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Polyceridae.[1]
Biology
These nudibranchs feed on bryozoans. They have a radula which bears a rachidian tooth whose upper margin is either smooth or notched; the lateral tooth has two crowns, and the other teeth are so flat as to resemble plates.[2]
