Originally Thorunna Speciosus, and renamed Halourga, sub Doridina and super family Eudoridoidea, family Chromodorididae. QUESTION. Does anyone know what they eat. (specifically) and any references that address this nudi by name. please correct me if the above info is not spelled or stated correctly. I have the general information but was unable to locate this specific nudi.

None of the sites I found mentioned this nudi's diet. Here are a few:

Thanks to Woodstock I was able to search a contact to Hans Bertsch whom seemed to be one of the authorities in this field. on the particular Nudi I was inquiring about it seems that no specific data is currently available on it's specific diet, however, Mr. Bertsch seems to think that it most likely feeds on some unkown species of sponge.

It always amazes me what can be accomplished when participating in group forum. thanks to all for the help. I am now on another search with help from members. lots of good input. so, thanks again could not have done it without the help. oh and less I forget, thanks a lot for the great picture posted by Woodstock. finally I'm not sure how to close a thread. maybe leave open a bit longer?
