Dear Bill,

This Chromodoris looks a lot like Chromodoris magnifica but is it?

Dear Natasja,

This is one of a group of black lined species of chromodorid which still need a little more sorting out. I suspect this isChromodoris strigata  but I am not 100% sure. The sponge it is on looks like the thorectid C. hamiltoni was on in your earlier message [#20505], but I don't know if that indicates a food choice, or just somewhere to sit. Other records suggest C. strigata feeds on a dysideid sponge.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
