Vandeperre, N., 2007 (Aug 22) Another Chromodoris hamiltoni from Tofo, Mozambique. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20505![](/images/m20505d.jpg)
Dear Natasja,
This photo illustrates the sponges I was talking about in your earlier message [#20503]. The greyish brown one looks like the thorectid in the earlier message, and the bright red one is almost certainly a species of Negombata, which is what I said C. hamiltoni has been reported to feed on previously.
In your last message the partially everted oral tube was pretty convincing evidence that the animal was feeding on a thorectid, but in this photo I could mount a case for either, or both, species being its food item. However, apart from close proximity we can't say this photo is proof of C. hamiltoni eating either sponge. Very tantalising.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
