From: Bruce Wilkie
Hi Bill,
I have been sorting through my files looking for feeding records. Here is one I think is Berthella martensi feeding on a sponge. I hope it helps to fill in some gaps.
Locality: Shag Rock, Point Lookout, North Stradbroke Island. , 12mts, Queensland, Australia. , Pacific ocean., 03 June 2007, Rocky reef, hard and soft corals, sponges.. Photographer: Bruce Wilkie.
Many thanks,
Bruce Wilkie.

Dear Bruce,
Thanks very much for searching through your slide collection. I am sure there are lots more hidden 'discoveries' in people's photo collections just waiting to be found. This is a quite unequivocal feeding record. All I have to do now its get the sponge positively identified. The only other information we have on this species feeding is a photo from Bob Bolland [#825] of it feeding on a sponge and Clay Bryce's comment [#821] that he had seen it feeding on a sponge, so this is a very useful record.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
