Chan, K.S., 2002 (Oct 31) Hypselodoris apolegma feeding. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/7208Dear Kheong,
They certainly seem to be taking an interest in this purple sponge, but unfortunately it just seems to be sitting on it in this photo. Unless we can see the oral tube everted on to the sponge, as in Nishina Masayoshi's and Jun Imamoto's photos of H. festiva, we really can't give this more than a 'not proven'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
