Dear Bill,
Here is another photo of the animal in the earlier message showing the sponge it is feeding on more clearly.
[Sunday, September 16, 2001, in 12 feet of water off Boca Raton, Florida, USA].
Best regards,

Thanks again Anne. I am sure a sponge expert would be able to identify the sponge from your photo. If it was in the Indo-West Pacific I would suggest it is a species of Dysidea.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
