This is part of a message sent separately about Polycera capensis. I have copied the part about Tambja verconis so it can be cross-referenced here .. Bill

Dear Bill,
..... Here's another photo of what I think is Polycera capensis. The larger animal obviously is Tambja verconis. The picture was taken on 25 September 1999 at Tathra Wharf in southern New South Wales. The depth was 12m on a sand/rubble bottom.
Best regards,
Erik

Thanks Erik,
The blackish growth the slugs are on is the arborescent bryozoan Bugula dentata, a common food of T. verconis.
