Chromodoris coi ? from the Solomon Ids

Dear Bill,
My best guess is Chromodoris coi, though these images look a bit different than on file. The only info I have is that I photographed them in the Solomons mid-1995.

Tucker, K., 2001 (Oct 23) Chromodoris coi ? from the Solomon Ids. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4924Thanks Ken,
Despite the difference in colour between the two photos, the colour markings suggest they are the same two animals. What is interesting is the purple sponge they are apparently feeding on. It would be worth checking out whether this sponge was commonly associated with C. coi
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
