Tonga Records: Glossodoris hikuerensis

From: Don Barclay
Hi Bill,
Here is Glossodoris hikuerensis. It was found on sponge under a slab in shallow water in front of the Tongan Beach Resort, Utungake Island, Vava'u, Tonga on the afternoon of 15 February 2001. It appeared to be eating the sponge in the attached photo. Size 45mm, depth ~1m.
Cheers,
Don

I don't know if I will find a sponge expert fearless enough to identify the sponge from your photo alone, but it might give us a clue, or confirmatory evidence in the future
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
