Phyllidiella pustulosa (Cuvier, 1804)

Phyllidiella pustulosa is one of the more commonly seen nudibranchs in the passes and on the seaward reef of Pohnpei. I suspect that not all of the animals below belong to the same species.

The specimen below appeared to be eating the gray sponge.

The specimen below appeared to be eating the orange sponge. With its pink foot, this specimen is almost certainly not Phyllidiella pustulosa, but I do not at this time have a better ID.
