Food of Discodoris atromaculata
January 28, 1999
From: Juan Vicente López-Canales
I´m a student of "Science of the Sea" at the Cádiz University and I am interested in the biology of the Discodoris atromaculata specially in its food. I know that this animal eats normally Petrosia but could it eat other sponge like Haliclona?
(Sorry for my bad english)
I would like to be included in the participants page:

López-Canales, J.V., 1999 (Jan 28) Food of Discodoris atromaculata. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/519Dear Juan,
Perhaps someone can help us with your question. I only know of records of it feeding on Petrosia ficiformis. Many dorids are extremely specific about their food, and it is possible D. atromaculata is such a species.
Good luck with your study. If you have photos or information on D. atromaculata or any other sea slugs you would like to share, they would be very welcome.
And don't worry about your English - it's a lot better than my Spanish!
Bill Rudman.
