Hi Bill !
Discodoris atromaculata is a pretty common nudibranch, in the French Mediterranean coast.

On this picture, it's interesting to see how the sponge Petrosia ficiformis is eaten by the dorid

Locality: Cap Ferrat, near Nice, France. Mediterranean Sea. Depth: 15 m. Length: 40 mm. 24 July 2005. good visibility. Photographer: Stephane Ores

Thanks Stephane,
The dorid certainly seems to have bitten off a very noticeable section of the sponge
Best wishes,
