Tan, R., 2003 (Jan 30) Dendrodoris denisoni from Chek Jawa, Singapore. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9046Dear Ria,
This is another sponge-feeding dorid nudibranch, Dendrodoris denisoni. Species of Dendrodoris lack the special teeth [or radula] found in most sponge-feeding dorids and feed by releasing digestive juices out of their mouth so that the nearby sponge dissolves into a 'soup' which can then be sucked into their mouths.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
