Chromodoris kuniei from Tufi, PNG

From: Des Paroz
Dear Bill
Another elegant nudibranch that was found in "The Muck" area around Tufi Wharf, Papua New Guinea, September 2001.
Photos are of 2 specimens, found within a few metres of each other. Both were spotted consistently over a week long period of diving this site every day.
Water temp 28C and little water movement.
Best regards
Des

Thanks Des,
It would be interesting to know if the animal on the orange sponge stayed there during the week or was just passing by when you photographed it. My interest, as usual, is whether this sponge is a possible food source for this species.
Cheers,
Bill
