Doriopsis pecten and food sponge

From: Bill Rudman
Here is a photo of Doriopsis pecten and its dark blue food sponge Terpios from New Caledonia. This animal is quite dark coloured but the characteristic translucent central band is clearly visible. The lower photo is slightly over exposed to show some of the detail.
