Dear Vie,

Thanks for this record. It looks like these animals are probably feeding, but I can't see any identifiable sponge from your photo. I suspect the bluish patches in the close-up photo are sponge. If by chance you have another photo which shows the area around their heads more clearly, it could be very interesting, as we don't know what sponge this species eats.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
