Hallaxa chani from California

From: Bruce Wight

Hi guys,
We went out to San Miguel Island, [Channel Ids, California] over the weekend [July 2004] with the SDUPS. I need help identifying this small juvenile? dorid with a sizable plume.
Thanks

Dear Bruce,
As Bruce comments [#12723], this is Hallaxa chani. I think it is crawling over a bryozoan colony in this photo, but from all existing observations it feeds exclusively on the sponge Halisarca sp.
Best wishes
