Dear Natasja,

Thanks for these photos. Are they two different animals or the same one? Why I ask is I can see that both animals seem to have a split 'tail', which is something I have not seen before in chromodorids, so I am surprised to see it in two animals. The orange lines on the mantle seem to be different in the two photos so it certainly seems to be two animals.

The animal in the lower photo is associated with the same two sponges, the brownish thorectid and the bright red Negombata present in your earlier message [#20505]. Again unfortunately there is no evidence of feeding

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
