Dear Bill,
Long time no message!
I go to diving every Sunday but I can't find any new ones. Fortunately I found A new one for me - Favorinus tsuruganus.

Moon islet, Jeju island. 8. Nov. 2003
W/T : 22 degrees
Depth : 12 m
Photographer : Dong Bum Koh

I found them eating the eggs of Flabellina bicolor

Best regards,
From Dong Bum Koh

Dear Dong Bum,
Glad to hear from you again - and especially with another interesting feeding observation. Favorinus tsuruganus appears to be a species that will eat a wide variety of opisthobranch eggs
Best wishes
