Comments	This small dorid is almost always found on on encrusting red sponges, here on Acarnus erithacus, which it feeds upon. A careful examination of low intertidal and subtidal sponge mats may reveal this species. Photo taken with Pentax Optio W10 underwater camera submerged in shallow aquarium.
