Found this in Perhentians, Malaysia on a type of soft coral, but can't find and ID for it in my reference books.

| I am not familar with the animal, but from the shell my guess is that it is of the genus Margovula, possibly species tinctilis or bimaculata. |

Thanks Wei.
The banding on the shell ties up with Margovula bimaculata, but I think my find in the Perhentians, Malaysia, is outside it's recorded range of Australia, Philippines and Indonesia. |

| I'm not sure about its distribution, but if it's recorded from the South China Sea, its occurence off West Malaysia isn't surprising. Still, a nice find, and an even nicer photograph! |

| I don't know if it's been reported in the South China Sea and haven't found a reference to that. Do you know of one? btw. I think you mean East coast Malaysia. |

Thanks, I missed that and went with the distribution notes on page 47. |
