Concerning message #22088:
Hi Bill,
Here is one more pic of Trapania maculata feeding, in which the entoproct is more visible.
It is so small that I simply did not see them before you pointed them out.
I think I will need glasses for the future ...
Locality: Cannes, 28 m, France, Mediterranean sea, 29 November 2008. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: Dominique Horst.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Dom

Now you have seen the size to look for I am sure you will spot them without glasses. However if you are lucky and the kamptozoa are more plentiful, a sure sign is a 'furry' covering over the sponge. Bernard Picton's photos [message #3767] show it very well. Another good indication in many cases are the little brown spots which can be seem in the photo on the kamptozoa Fact Sheet.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
