Nembrotha - preferred ascidians

June 13, 2002
From: Nerida Wilson

Hi Bill,
I also have records of Nembrotha kubaryana feeding on the same ascidian that Erwin reported. It was at Osprey Reef, 10 April 2001, around 5m. Unfortunately I have no photograph. I tentatively identified it as Sigillina signifera from Coral Reef Animals of the Indo-Pacific by Gosliner et al.
Cheers

Thanks Nerida,
I think you are right with the identification. In an earlier comment of mine concerning the food of N. milleri, I quote an exchange I had had with Dave Behrens who identified it as Sigillina signifera.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
