Ceratosoma brevicaudatum from Sydney

June 2, 2000
From: Akos Lumnitzer

Dear Bill,

Here is Ceratosoma brevicaudatum from Oak Park, Cronulla. May, 1998, 12 meters of water.
I used a 1:3 macro lens, so it would have been around 10cm in length.

Regards

Akos

Dear Akos,
We don't have much information on what sponges this species eats so the yellow sponge in the background of your photo is interesting. It would be nice to know if it is often found in association with this sponge, or if you have seen it feeding on this or any other sponge.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
