Roboastra arika is a species of sea slug, a polycerid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. [2]
This species was described from Lord Howe Island, Australia.
Nudibranchs are a group of soft-bodied, marine gastropod molluscs which shed their shells after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colours and striking forms, and they have been given colourful nicknames to match, such as "clown," "marigold," "splendid," "dancer," "dragon," or "sea rabbit." Currently, about 3,000 valid species of nudibranchs are known.

Tambjamines are a group of natural products that are structurally related to prodiginines and are characterized by a 4-methoxy-2,2'-bipyrrolenamine structure. Tambjamines are composed of two pyrrole rings with an enamine moiety at C-5 and a methoxy group at C-4, and the majority have short alkyl chains substituted for the enamine nitrogen. This group of alkaloids have been isolated from marine invertebrates and bacteria.
