Hi Bill,
Someone mentioned that you might like to see a picture of this nudi on it's possible food sponge so I thought I'll just send it to you.
Locality: Bunaken, Manado, Indonesia, 12 November 2004. Photographer: Colin Teo.
Best Regards,

Teo, C., 2007 (Jan 17) Chromodoris lochi feeding?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/19154Dear Colin,
'Someone' gave you good advice. I am always happy to get photos of nudibranchs 'doing things', and feeding or potential feeding photos are particularly welcome. Although I can't see any sign of actual feeding, the fact that there are two animals taking more than a passing interest in this sponge is a good sign. Secondly the sponge, is grey and solid, suggesting that it could be the thorectid Petrosaspongia which is the preferred food of this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
