Concerning message #19883:
Hi Bill,
At last I have found my own Chromodoris cavae. (the previous ones had all been found by my staff members in rock pools). This one was on our dive yesterday and appears to be feeding. The strata on which it is feeding appears to be very much like the strata on which both the C. conchyliata, and the C. mandapamensis feed. I hope you can id the food source.
Locality: Sowana Bay, 14 metres, South Africa, Indian Ocean, 11 November 2007, reef. Length: 45 mm. Photographer: Colin Ogden.
Regards
Colin

This could be an animal just off for a walk, or if there is a sponge present, it must be covered with sand. Unfortunately, I can see no sign of food.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
