Concerning message #18378:

I thought I'd share these pics of a Glossodoris cruenta since all the other postings on this species are from the Soloman Islands.

Locality: DIve Site - Mawali Wreck, 100 ft, Lembeh Strait, Indonesia, Celebes Sea, 27 October 2006, Sandy bottom. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Mike Krampf.

Dear Mike,

Amongst the chromodorids, which are reknowned for their gaudy colour patterns, this must rate as one of the most ostentatious. It would be great to get more information on the food sponge of this species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
