Ceratosoma brevicaudatum feeding
March 8, 2004
From: John Chuk
Dear Bill,
I am able to add to the evidence provided by Leanne and David Atkinson [#12084] and Nerida Wilson [#12194] that Ceratosoma brevicaudatum feeds on a blue sponge. Here are images of C. brevicaudatum specimens feeding on blue sponges at three different sites in South Australia. I have records of the species feeding on a similar sponge in Victoria.
A. Edithburgh Jetty, 6 April 1998. Depth 4.5m.
B. Port Hughes Jetty, 8 April 1998. Depth 6m.
C. Point Turton Jetty, 2 March 2001. Depth 3m.
Best wishes,
John.
