Hi Bill,
Please find attached a photo of Hypselodoris emma I found off Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia, at a site called Castle Rock, 20m depth, 30mm long, 20 degree water. This one is a bit less tan on top than the one I sent you from Moreton Island earlier.
Cheers

Thanks Gary,
The exciting thing about this photo is that the animal is feeding on the pinkish sponge in the foreground. You can see the whitish foregut poking out just beneath the anterior end of the mantle. This is the first indication we have of its preferred food sponge
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
