Dear Rudolph,
As I have discussed elsewhere, this species and Hypselodoris carnea are difficult to distinguish externally. However Port Elisabeth seems to be safely south of the geographic limit of H. carnea. The pale bluish sponge looks as though it could be likely food of this species
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
