Hi Bill,
Here is another message about Chromodoris fidelis in the Marshall Islands and the apparently different sponges it feeds on [see message #12220].
E007-30, also from Enewetak, shows two specimens grazing away a very dark maroon --almost black -- sponge right down to the coral rock substrate.
I have a few more that I will send separately.

Johnson, S., 2004 (Feb 16) Chromodoris fidelis feeding [3]. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/12230Thanks Scott,
There is a 'shiny and purple-black' species of Chelonaplysilla described from a single specimen from Hawaii which could well be this species. It wil be interesting to have it checked out
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
