Chromodoris dianae feeding
January 15, 2004
From: Mary Jane Adams
Hi Bill,
Chromodoris dianae was one of the most common nudibranchs I saw on my recent dive trip to the Sipadan-Mabul-Kapalai region of eastern Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. They did not vary much in color pattern. The ones I saw all looked like those in the attached images. When they weren't crawling, they were sitting on dark brown sponges about the size of an orange. I believe this is their prey.
Best regards,
Mary Jane

The sponge information is very useful and if we are lucky I should have it identified in a couple of weeks
Best wishes
