Re: Pigmentation in Tritonia hombergi

Hello Eleanor,
I read your appeal for information [#13414]. From my observations diving up here in Scotland T. hombergi has been found in colonies of A. digitatum of mixed colour ranging from white through to orange. I have not noticed any particular co-relation between colour of animal and the colour of the digitatum they are eating and also wonder how the Tritonia would identify the colour of its food.

I will keep a look out for colour co-relations and report back if that
is of any help.

Kind regards,
Jim Anderson
