The specimen below was observed eating a gray sponge on a Kwajalein western lagoon reef on 29 August 2009. The hole in the lower center of the sponge is where the nudibranch was grazing before it was disturbed by the photographer. Note that the structure of the gray sponge is very similar to the yellow sponge the animal above is eating. They may be color forms of the same species.
