Dear Bill,
To clarify my earlier message I am virtually certain that all of Valda's photos are of H. carnea, not of H. capensis. I dissected a bunch of animals to try to resolve the differences
when I was in South Africa and I never had a single H. capensis from Natal.

It would be intersting to know whether they feed on different sponges, or whether their egg ribbons differ. Not that that would help identify them from photos. I'll place them all under H. carnea. If you have a chance, a photo of H. capensis would be a nice comparison to add to the Forum for those without access to your book.
Bill Rudman.
