Dear Bill
Here's another Chromodoris strigata from the Philippines. There is something attached to the right side of the animal - sorry that the picture is not sharper.

Locality: Bonbon, Romblon Island, 20-30 m, Philippnes, Sibuyan Sea, 02 October 2009, steep slope. Photographer: Franca Wermuth.

Dear Franca,

Although these are slightly out of focus, the sponge is definitely a species of the Dysideidae. Species of Chromodoris don't usually feed on sponges of this family but as we have other records of C. strigata feeding on dysideids [see messages #17409; #1086] we will need to look at this species more closely.

It is an interesting observation

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
