Locality: Verde Island, Puerto Gallera, 15 m, Philippines, Pacific Ocean, 17 July 2007, Coral Wall. Photographer: James McMahon.

Dear James,

Thanks for this. It seems to be the same ascidian as in Paul Osmond's lower photo [message #19221]. We dont know enough about these ascidian feeders to know just how specific they are, but from records on the Forum this species seems to eat this species and the opaque blue species of Rhopalaea.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
