Dr. Rudman,
Concerning your question about the sponge Tylodina feeds on. According to Morris et al. (1980), Aplysina fistularis (Pallas, 1766) is the correct name with Verongia aurea, Verongia thiona and Spongia fulva all being synonyms.

Morris, R.H., D.P. Abbott and E.C. Haderlie. 1980. Intertidal Invertebrates of California. Stanford University Press, Stanford, California. 690 pgs.

Again, thank you so much for all you do to keep us all informed on these magnificent animals!
