Cadlina sparsa from California

From: Bruce Wight

Hi guys,
Here is a photo of Cadlina sparsa I took on our recent trip to San Miguel Island [Channel Ids, California] over the weekend [July 2004] with the SDUPS. Water clarity was poor, but the
place was loaded as always with branchs.

Best wishes

Thanks Bruce,
This is a new addition to the Forum. I have put the close-up alongside because it seems to show this animal feeding on a smooth sponge. Some other species of Cadlina feed on these 'slime sponges' [see Cadlina cf. luteomarginata], so it would be interesting to keep an eye out for whatit is feeding on.
Best wishes
