Hello Bill.
Since you are always looking for slug's feeding, I am enclosing couple pictures of Doris odhneri making a dent into a patch of encrusting sponge Haliclona.
Locality: Jetty, 18 feet, Washington, USA, Puget Sound, NE Pacific Ocean, 15 January 2007, rocks. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Jan Kocian.

Dear Jan,
There is no ambiguity in this observation! It is definitely feeding. I would be grateful if anyone with a knowledge of the sponges of the area could confirm the identity of the sponge. It looks more like a species of Halichondria than a species of Haliclonato me
Best wishes,
