Concerning message #17032:

Hi Bill,
I don't remember ever seeing one in situ without the yellow border (I saw pictures). I have only a bad picture (the rHinophores aren't visible) of one maybe feeding, but it is not on Aplysilla. Theye were several other Cadlina flavomaculata a few yards around this one.

Locality: Anchor Farm, Shale beds, Monterey, 80', California, USA, Pacific, 01 May 2004, Shale bed, silty. Length: 2cm. Photographer: Marcos Perreau Guimaraes.

Cheers,
Marcos.

Thanks Marcos,
I guess this is why it is such a slow process building up good feeding information on these species. Some species make it very easy, always being found near or on their food sponge, but for most it is much more difficult, either because the sponges are very cryptic or the nudibranchs apparently move a lot between meals.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
