Concerning message #23387:

Bill,

Here are pics of two others I found in Saba the same week. One is on a purple tube sponge, and the other on yet a different sponge. It may be safe to conclude that it probably doesn't eat the orange sponge.

Locality: Reef, 30 feet, Saba, Caribbean Sea, 18 March 2010, On a sponge. Length: 3mm. Photographer: Eric Kaye.

Dear Eric,

Thanks for that. All we need now is for someone actually finding it feeding on a hydroid.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
