Concerning message #20135:
I didn't see any photos of Peltodoris atromaculata this far east in the Mediterranean, so I thought I would add it to your forum. You can see the scars on the sponge it was feeding on, although it wasn't actively feeding at the time of this photo.
Locality: Kyrenia, 55 ft, North Cyprus, Mediterranean, 1 August 2007, Rocky. Length: 15mm. Photographer: Carol Cox.

Cox, Carol, 2008 (Apr 8) Peltodoris atromaculata from North Cyprus. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20995Dear Carol,
Petrosia ficiformis is reported to be the food sponge of this species throughout its range, which I am pretty sure covers all of the Mediterranean and the nearby Atlantic coast. Thanks for this nice photo showing the feeding scars.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
