Newson, S., 2006 (Mar 24) Chromodoris woodwardae from Jervis Bay. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9732Thanks Sue,
This species can sometimes look very similar to C. thompsoni, but the clue to its identity are the callyspongiid 'finger' sponges on which it feeds. To my knowledge, no other species of Chromodoris has been reported eating sponges of this family.
Best wishes
