Ianniello, L.M., 2009 (May 20) Feeding Hypselodoris ruthae in Florida [1]. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22484Dear Linda,
Thanks for another addition. From its colour I am pretty sure it is the same as the sponge in Anne Dupont's earlier message [#20832]. I can't see a lot of structure in this photo, but from your accompanying message [#22485], the sponge is certainly a species of Dysidea, and from its colour I would say Dysidea etheria.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
