Concerning message #18769:

Hi Bill,
I have been looking through my files on Hypselodoris jacksoni for feeding records. In most photo's the animals are with their heads down feeding but the sponge is not visible. Here is one with a visible sponge. I hope they help.

Locality: Flat rock, Point Lookout, Nth Stradbroke island, 14 mts, Queensland, Australia. , Pacific Ocean., 4 December 2005, Rocky reef, hard and soft corals, sponges. Photographer: Bruce Wilkie. 

Many thanks,
Bruce Wilkie.

Thanks Bruce,
It is unusual to see such a large colony of Euryspongia so free of overgrowths. The photos in your second message [#20612] with the colony almost totally hidden are what we have come to expect. I have included a couple of close-ups to show the arrangement of the spongin fibres

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
