Dear Mary Jane,
Thanks for these photos. It certainly seems to have found what it likes to feed on. I suspect it is either a spongiid or thorectid, but they are sometimes difficult to tell apart even with specimens. So many animals present fits with your suggestion that this could be a direct developing species. It would be useful to confirm that the 'possible' egg ribbon in your paper does belong to this species. If you are in contact with Hans Tibboel it might be interesting if he kept an eye out for egg laying so we can confirm just what this species' eggs are like.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
