Samuel,
Concerning your message, I feed my Jorunna funebris with blue sponges from the genus Haliclona. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia and fortunately there are still a few LFS here that sell blue sponges for cheap prices (less than one dollar a piece).

Thanks Edy,
Have a look at the earlier message where the identity of this blue sponge is discussed. There is a problem with collecting sponge ( and other) colonies for the aquarium trade, and that is that considerable damage is done to the environment in the collecting process. On top of this I can only assume that many of the colonies die before they reach the retailer, making the whole process incredibly damaging and wasteful.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
