Concerning message #17621:

Just a bit of house-keeping. I over-confidently identified the sponge this animal is on as a dysideid, probably Euryspongia. I have just asked Pat Bergquist to check this identification for me and it is the darwinellid Chelonaplysilla violacea. At present only species of Chromodoris are known to feed on this sponge, so there is the possibility it is not a species of Hypselodoris.

Best wishes
