Concerning message #21507:
Dear Dr Bill,
I didn't want to deprive the Gymnodoris of its food so I did not disturb it while it was feeding.
But here's another photo of the same G. rubropapulosa feeding. Hope that it helps to make the prey's ID clearer.
I thought that it was Chromodoris lineolata as there's a orangy-red margin on the prey's mantle. In addition, C. lineolata is a more commonly spotted sea slug than Philinopsis lineolata at Pulau Hantu.
Locality: Pulau Hantu, 10 m, Singapore, South China Sea, 23rd April 2008, Substrate rubbles. Length: 50 mm. Photographer: Toh Chay Hoon.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I can see the orange border in this photo so I agree it's C. lineolata. A very interesting addition to our knowledge.
Best wishes,
