Natasja Vandeperre, 2008 (Apr 21) Nembrotha chamberlaini feeding at Komodo. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20847Dear Natasja,
Although it is a Nembrotha on an ascidian, I can't see any sign that it actually feeding. They tend to eat the internal organs rather than the test, and from earlier reports N. chamberlaini seems to prefer other species of ascidian. On the other hand anything is possible, so we can't disregard the possibility that this ascidian is also eaten by this Nembrotha.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
