Chromodoris strigata from Sth Africa

From: Colin Ogden
Hi Bill,
On a dive yesterday, I came across this little fellow. I have seen it before and assumed that it was a juv Chromodoris hamiltoni with a different colour variation, but yesterday I found 2 of them about 40 metres apart, and thought it might be worth sending to you for your comments.
thanks a ton

Ogden C. M., 2006 (Aug 14) Chromodoris strigata from Sth Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/17409Dear Colin,
This is Chromodoris strigata, one of the confusing group of black-lined chomodorids. It is nice to get this photo because it shows its probable food sponge very clearly. I have two earlier records of its possible food sponge, which suggests it feeds on a species of dysideid. This much clearer photo will allow me to confirm the identity of the sponge.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
