General Notes
I originally thought it was Trapania euryeia - but iNaturalist has named it Trapania kamagong. But they have not given it Research Grade so they are not sure either. It is very similar to Trapania brunnea and benni but these species are only known in Australia. Trapania kamagong is not known from Indonesia.
