I am not sure what you are able to do. Are you are going to be doing actual field research or just library work? If you are doing field work I would need to know how much time you have to spend and how quickly it needs to be done. It's no good me suggesting you look, for example, at their breeding cycle if your study has to be completed in a couple of months.
Working on the assumption you haven't much time, why don't you have a look at something that's possible. If Chromodoris annae is quite common, why don't you have a look at some fairly obvious things like what sponges does it eat, what does its egg ribbon look like, how much colour variation can you find, is there much difference in colour between juveniles and adults etc. It would also be useful to compare it with any similarly coloured species that occur in the same area such as Chromodoris elisabethina and perhaps Chromodoris magnifica. If that sounds interesting and feasible let me know and we can discuss it in more detail by email. Another interesting, but quite different, topic would be looking at feeding in Notodoris minor. If you have a look at the messages on that page you will see that Notodoris minor may digest its sponge food externally before swallowing it. It would certainly be an interesting topic to investigate.
Let me know what you think,
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
