Janolus fuscus from Alaska

From: Clinton Bauder


Hi Bill,
More from Coronation Island in Alaska, July, 2002. The wall was absolutely covered in Janolus fuscus. Not sure whether they were eating the yellowish sponge or the hydroids. Depth was maybe 12m and they were about 50mm in length.

Dear Clinton,
These animals should feed on arborescent bryozoans. I am pretty sure the weedy thing they are on is such a bryozoan.
Cheers,
