Dear Sergey,
Thanks very much for this. It is another record of the many striped form of this species and is only the second record we have of this species feeding [see #5941]. In you upper photo the buccal bulb can be clearly seen everted onto the sponge.
I will need to check the identification but we seem to be building up evidence for some of these black-lined species feeding on red poecilosclerid sponges.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
