Cuthona sibogae from Thailand, feeding
February 10, 2009
From: Marcel Tanke
Concerning message #3034:
Dear Bill,
For the record, here a couple of pictures of Cuthona sibogae feeding on its favourite orange hydroid. The second picture shows 3 animals.
Is Cuthona sibogae the same as Trinchesia sibogae?
Locality: Island Ko Ha One, 20 m, Thailand, Andaman Sea, 25 January 2009. Length: 2 cm. Photographer: Marcel Tanke.
Best regards,
Marcel

Tanke, M.A., 2009 (Feb 10) Cuthona sibogae from Thailand, feeding. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22217Thanks Marcel,
This species shows a remarkable consistency in its choice of food hydroid. It's good to get another record. Concerning my unwillingness to replace Cuthona with Trinchesia see my earlier comments [message #21285] .
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
