Hello David and others,

Concerning the message about feeding. Aeolidia papillosa in the English Channel feed s on just about any sea anemone it is able to bite chunks out of, e.g. Metridium senile, Actinia equina, Sagartia troglodytes, have been observed being eaten. Anemonia viridis is also believed to be eaten, but no direct observations.

I already have a photograph of this nudibranch feeding on Actinia equina

Cheers
