Austraeolis catina and its sponge
April 16, 2007
From: Bill Rudman
Concerning message #19779:
Dear Marianne and Dave,
When I was reading Dave's comments on Marianne's Austraeolis catina, I was struck again by the fact that this slug seems to be always on the same or a very similar looking sponge in all the photos we have of it on the Forum. And it also seems to be on it in Marianne's message and in the photo in Caribbean Sea Slugs. As I commented in an earlier message [#14798], it seems this species may feed on a hydroid with an obligate association with this sponge. It would be a nice little project for a studnet to investigate
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
