Wilson, N.G., 2007 (Aug 1) Chromodoris dianae feeding. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20330Dear Nerida,
Thanks for the photo. It again shows the trials of studying feeding in these animals. I suspect the sponge is a thorectid. The siphon I have ringed looks very like that of Semitaspongia sp. The two animals in your photo show some of the colour variability found in this species, one with orange around the mantle edge, one without.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
