Chromodoris lochi on sponges

January 29, 2004
From: Roberto Sozzani

Dear Bill,
I checked my photos from Manado (Indonesia) for more Chromodoris on sponge(s) and found these two of Chromodoris lochi.

Upper photo was shot on March 2002, the lower left one on June 2003. Depth between 10 to 20 meters.

In the enlargement of the first photo, it seems the sponge is covered by something or maybe it has been damaged by the Chromodoris feeding?

Best regards
