Noumea crocea - food and spawn

June 15, 2001
From: Scott Johnson


Hi Bill,
Here's an addition to your Noumea crocea page. Both shots show the animal on its apparently exclusive food sponge, and in the lower shot, it is on its egg mass as well. This species was not uncommon at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, but seems to be quite rare here at Kwajalein, about 350 miles southeast of Enewetak, where I have found only a single individual. I also have records from Nauru Island and from the Solomons.
