Hypselodoris bullocki again

Bill:

Here is a message I received. Is this somebody you know? I doubt it would eat algae. You probably know the species.

"Hi Steve,
A couple weeks ago I bought a Neutebreanch at petland. They told me that he would eat algae and he is beautiful so I bought him. After watching him for a couple days I didn't notice him eating. I searched all over the internet but haven't found what he eats. I'm hoping you could tell me. Here is a
picture of him. Thank you for your help.

Dear Steve,
It is almost certainly Hypselodoris bullocki. I don't know whether the very blue colour is real or a result of the photography.

As you will see from the other information on this page, it is a sponge feeder. It is a shame that such beautiful animals are being collected to die in aquaria like this.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
