Thorunna africana from the Red Sea

From: Oren Lederman
Hi Bill,
Two weeks ago I found not one, but three more Thorunna africana on a single dive. The longest one (about 1.5 cm) was spotted at the begining of the dive (~22m) and the two others were spotted a few minutes later (~28 meters).
Locality: The "Dekel", Eilat Bay, Israel, Red Sea. Depth: ~22m - 28 m. Length: 0.5 - 1.5 cm. 30 Jul 2005. Photographer: Oren Lederman

Thanks Oren,
These small chromodorids are an interesting genus with very strange radular teeth. Could you check your photos to see if one shows the sponge they are on more clearly?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
