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

Thanks  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
