Chelidonura inornata from Townsville, Australia

From: Paul Osmond


Dear Bill
We found several Chelidonura inornata on several dive sites on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Townsville in October 2003.

The pair were hunting as there were a large number of small flatworms nearby.

Thanks Paul,
It's nice to know what these animals eat. A few years ago most popular reef picture books used to have captions on photos like this saying Chelidonura fed on coral mucus!
Best wishes
