Koehler, E., 2006 (Jun 12) Sakuraeolis nungunoides feeding. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16827Thanks Erwin,
The hydroid looks like quite a large athecate species. I found this on a species of Eudendrium in Tanzania so it is possible it feeds on a variety of species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
