Trapania toddi feeding

January 29, 2002
From: Bill Rudman


While preparing photos of Trapania toddi from Brian Darvell's Hong Kong collections I noticed this photo of Brian's of two animals on a sponge. It clearly shows parts of the sponge densely covered in growths which I am pretty sure are entoprocts and from the clear area around the nudibranchs head I thin we can be pretty sure that this is a further species feeding on entoprocts. [See Bernard Picton's message on species of Trapania feeding on entoprocts].

Best wishes,
