Dear Marina,
Thanks for these photos. I am not sure if it has been recorded from Mauritius before, although it is known from Africa. The yellow sponge it is on is of interest, as it may turn out to be one of its food sponges. Of course it could just be something that the slug is crawling over so we will just have to keep a note of any records of it on a yellow sponge in the future.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
