Janolus fuscus from Alaska

Hi Bill,
More from Coronation Island in Alaska, July, 2002. The wall was absolutely covered in Janolus fuscus. Not sure whether they were eating the yellowish sponge or the hydroids. Depth was maybe 12m and they were about 50mm in length.

These animals should feed on arborescent bryozoans. I am pretty sure the weedy thing they are on is such a bryozoan.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
