Chromodoris dianae feeding

January 22, 2004
From: Fredy Brauchli

Hi Bill,
On Mary Jane Adams' photos of January 15, 2004, you've gotten an information on the preferred brown sponge of Chromodoris dianae.

I took a similar picture at Sipadan Island, Malaysian Borneo, in July 1997. The animal is also sitting on a brown sponge and feeding. I wonder if the little 'cave' is the the animals work.
Best wishes,
Fredy

Thanks Fredy,
This is a valuable confirmation of its food preference. The hole is a natural part of the sponge's shape.
Best wishes
