Concerning message #17326:
Dear Bill,
Thanks for your answer. This nudibranch is very common in Douarnenez Bay (western Brittany, France, Atlantic Ocean). We can especially observe it in about ten to twenty meters of water, always on the same hydroid, but last Sunday (13 August 2006) I saw one of them at thirty meters on the wreck "La Meuse".
Best regards

The evidence is certainly building up that species of Doto have very specialised diets, each species eating only one, or a very few, species of hydroid.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
