Concerning message #19593:

Thanks for the information of the Chromodoris magnifica. When you mentioned the C. magnifica feeding on a red sponge it reminded me of a picture I took recently. It wasn't obvious to me that this nudi was feeding but thought you might have some value for it.

Locality: Off Mataking Island, 50 ft, Sabah, Malaysia, Celebes Sea, 3 February 2007, Reef. Length: 4 cm. Photographer: Mike Krampf.

Thanks as always for the education and your time.

Dear Mike,
Thanks very much for another piece in the puzzle. Although there is no definite evidence that it is feeding on this sponge, your photo is part of a growing amount of circumstantial evidence suggesting that the association of C. magnifica with this sponge is more than a chance occurrence. Although I am not an expert on these sponges, the shape and colour of the one in your photo would suggest it is a species of Negombata.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
