Mating Thorunna furtiva from nthn Mariana Islands

September 7, 2007
From: Yuji Fujie

Dear Dr.Bill,
They did not stay together first. I think, the left animal was feeding.

Locality: Grotto, 15 m, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, Pacific Ocean, 12 July 2007, on the rock at inside pool. Length: 10mm. Photographer: Yuji Fujie.

We can often see this situation from April to July at Grotto.
Best regards,
Yuji

Dear Yuji,
These animals certainly look like they could be feeding. If you could send me a higher resolution scan it would be good to see if I can see any sign of sponges

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
