Risbecia pulchella at rest

From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill
I loved this pic of cuddled up Risbecia pulchella. Having a snooze after "trailing around ". Notice the "guard dog" copepods.

Locality: Park Rynie, 25 m, South Africa, Indian, 6 Feb 2009, Rocky reef. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Valda Fraser.

Best wishes

Thanks Valda,

Sometimes its ok to presume they have human attributes. On a more boring matter, would you know if they are nestling in a cup sponge in your photo? If so, did you see any sign of feeding - not that they should feed on such a sponge - but I am trying to be impartial in my collecting of clues to chromodorid feeding.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
