Thanks Dom,

I have looked very carefully but can't see any sign in your photos of what Armina was biting - other than the hermit crab running away in the middle photo. Arminausually feed on sea pens [Pennatulacea] [see message #14913]. Was there any evidence that they were near by? Usually they only emerge at night.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
